Musings on a visit to the Children's Museum--Jason

Cameron is all about speed. As long as it is at a safe pace with propper safety measures in place. Short of wearing a bicycle helmet and elbow pads, he rarther did enjoy racing golf balls. His enjoyment was at a much higher level before his dad was paying attention and he swan-dived off of a raised platform onto his face. After a short period of trying to convince him not to sue the place, he pressed on with his racing golf balls (with a nice rug burn on his cheek to guilt his parents about their unattentiveness).

He wouldn't quit wandering off so we tossed him into a toddler prison. His cries for help finally forced us to release him, but we did get to share some laughs until then. (In actuality, I think he was looking into on of the exhibits that worked like those McDonald's coin drops where you put a quarter in and you watch it loop around and around until it drops down into the black hole. Imagine that with golf balls and you get the idea).

Cameron didn't share the water tables very well. Everytime he saw you doing something fun, he would bump you out of the way with his hip and take over. We didn't realize how serious water table were. He worked the tables like a mad scientist, conducting experiments and making a mess while at it. It became obvoius that standing back was better for everyone.










Cameron didn't 'get' the shrimp boat. He just ran around it and up and down the boarding ramp. We didn't spend much time here. He was deeply concerned about the dolphin half poking out of the floor.

He was rightly outraged at the going prices at the grocery store they had set up. It wasn't even etible! Who did they think they were fooling? He did get quite a bargain on fruit. He did discover a bargain though: Hollow, plastic fruit required a great quantity to weigh a pound! On their first visit to the Children's Museum, Josie spent here entire tour sitting in the grocery store manning the cash register. After the store we visited the castle portion of the museum but that can be summarized be reviewing what happened at the shrimp boat. Minus the disembodied dolphin of course. Creeepy.
