A Sand Table is a Poor Replacement for The Beach…

…but a great source of entertainment, nonetheless.

The boys took their first field trip to the Children’s Museum (thanks, Joy, for the inspiration!) over the Thanksgiving weekend.  I had no idea how much they would be able to already enjoy at this age!  We feel fortunate to have such a nice toddler-friendly excursion so close to us, especially now that the cold weather has us cooped up inside most days. I didn’t get as many pictures as I would have liked, because I was busy dodging the masses, counting kids (1,2,3…where’s 4???? Oh there he is!), and watching their wonderment as they checked out each play area.  The sand dome, the huge water table, playhouse and the train table were HUGE hits!  Brad and I were tickled by how there seemed to be a 4:1 adult to kid ratio, while we remained out numbered. I guess everyone brings back-up reinforcements, but we enjoyed being our "little" family of 6! We plan on returning for an encore visit soon!
