Phoenix Children's Museum I

Such a fun day! Kelly had heard from friends about Phoenix Children's Museum and we decided to go and check it out. Maria was interested in going too, just we changed plans one too many times for her. Sorry, Maria. We sure missed you and those little ones! :( Quentin got off work at 12:30 so we waited for him. :)

This post and following posts are loaded with pictures! If you're readin, I hope you like them but either way, I like them and it is, afterall, my blog. I reserve the right to post oodles of pics on it. :)


Baylee had fun the entire day. Here she is playing with a sand drawing platform. Then she went for a ride on the tricycle trail and through the trike wash.



Felicia and Jayden had fun going through the trike wash, too!


Baylee loved exploring the fort emporium...all kinds of little forts and hide-outs to explore. These were so cute, and so versatile. Just large panels of fabric with velcro tabs to secure the fabric on unique or everyday items.


She stopped for a bit to put together a puzzle then was off again.


Jayden watched the action from the sidelines.


Baylee rested for just a bit, lounging on a child-size sofa inside one of the forts.


Everyone was in a playful mood! :)


A little kid-size tent made for a fun fort, too!

Next stop was the kid-size super market. Baylee loved wandering the aisles and loading up her cart.






Then she loaded the groceries onto the conveyor at the check-out.


She turned the lever to make the conveyor move while another little girl bagged her groceries in reusable shopping bags.


Jayden wasn't liking being in her stroller again!


Baylee had fun with the split peas-scooping them up and putting them on the scales.



In fact, everyone had fun with the scales!

Next up was the kitchen and pizzaria. This little play area was so cute! Baylee donned an apron and jumped into action serving water and little dinner plates.


This picture is especially cute because the guy sitting at the counter was recipient of Baylee's first pizza! LOL Seriously, she created this fabric masterpiece of crust and toppings then folded it in half, Calzone style, and took it over to the man sitting at the counter. :)



I think these two practiced making faces at one another. :)




That kitchen set-up was so cute and sized just right for Baylee.

The race car tracks were the next stop and although I didn't get pictures of the tracks (disappointed?), I did manage to get one of Baylee playing the wrench xylophone in the hall near the tracks.


Our last stop...at least prior to the gift shop, was the under three year old playroom. I was able to get a couple cute pics of Jayden in this light, bright room. :)






All in all it was a fun outing. I am so glad Kelly suggested this activity. We'll have to do it again when there are more children with us. It was a lot of fun for Baylee as is but I think she would have had even more fun if she had a playmate going through these activities with her.
