Chicago Children's Museum

Samantha climbing up into the tower.

Maddie, Samantha's cousin, climbing up into the tower.

Samantha at the top.

Maddie at the top.

Marissa playing with one of the displays they had. When you touched the pen to the table circles were created.

Samantha playing with a display that spun around, you had to try to keep an object going on it and figure out why it did it and others wouldn't.

Maddie playing on the spin display.

Brother-in-law, Bill was thinking this looked pretty cool.

After the girls left the display both the big boys, Jim and Bill, sat down and played for awhile. They wanted to see how long they could keep an item on the spinning table. I think they enjoyed this more than the girls did.

Maddie all dressed up to sell her goods.

Samantha decided to build a bridge.

She did such a good job it would hold Jim when he crossed it.

Then Sam went across it and jumped up and down. YIKES, this mommy didn't like that but she laughed and then smiled for me.

Maddie thought the bones were neat and smiled for me.

Samantha found the craft table, her favorite place to be.

Then they found the building area and started to build. I am not sure who is having the most fun, Bill or the girls.

This room was so hot, it was full of windows and we were all dressed for the outdoors. It was only 2 degrees outside.

They worked so well together. But then Samantha remembered they were starting a craft project in the other room and asked to head on over.

Samantha building her crown.

Everything has to be perfect.

Isn't it lovely?

Then we came back to the building area and Bill and Marissa had it all done. Do you want to live there? It has a roof, heeheehee!

Off to the water area. Sam loves playing with water, she can take a shower for over an hour!

Doesn't he look like he is having a blast. Every time he pulled the rope more water went into the water areas.

I think this is Maddie getting sprayed by her Uncle Jimmy.

Sam has discovered the bucket that you can fill with water and then move and dump, people can get wet with this one.

Marissa found the pump and was squirting water everywhere.

This was a lot of fun and the kids had such a good time here.
