everett children's museum.

We had fun plans for St. Patricks Day. We were going to walk down the street to watch the annual St. Patricks Day parade in Bellingham. But, then it rained. So, change of plans. We ended up driving south to Everett for a day at the Children's Museum. If you've never been and have young kids you have to go! It is amazing! I wish we lived closer so we could go more often.

We ended up spending over 3 hours there with Carter running the entire time from exhibit to exhibit. We ate lunch and even went to the rooftop for a few minutes to play outside during a break in the rain.

Lucy did a lot of this during the day:
There is a great stage for kids to dress up and put on a show. Carter wasn't too interested in the dress up clothes but loved directing the play from the command center. Maybe he has a future in lighting design?
Lots of time to build, stack and then knock it over. Again and again!Riding the cow (or horse, or donkey?) Not really sure what animal it was, but he liked it.
Driving the tractor.
So the picture is super blurry but I love his facial expression. They have this fantastic water room that we let him play in at the very end. Luckily they also provide full size aprons to keep some of the water off kids' clothes. He would have spent another hour in this room alone. Actually, he was begging us not to leave at the end of the day.
And, before we were even on the freeway he was asleep. Yes, with his hand in his snack bag.
Such a fun day! Can't wait to go back soon!
