Phoenix Children's Museum

We have had a really fun weekend. Saturday started out with me, taking "me" time, getting my hair colored and cut. You'll see the end result later in this post. Kamryn went to a birthday party and we had my entire family over that evening.

Today we went to the Phoenix Children's Museum and it was fantastic!! Thanks to the culture pass from the library, admission was FREE! We met up with my best friend from High School, Ami, her hubby Drew and sweet Ashley. We haven't seen each other in years and it was so great to see them!!

The museum is definitely geared towards kiddos a bit younger than Kamryn, but she had a great time in the "noodle forrest". There were hundreds of noodles hanging from the ceiling and you walk through them. I don't even want to think of the million germs that are in there....gross.
Here is my new hairdo! Ok, so it's the same as it is every time I go to the salon. Blond, curly and trimmed. The noodles made it wacky and every time I came out of the "noodle forest", there were bystanders laughing. Good times.
There was a vacuum ball system on one of the walls. You put the fuzzy balls into a vacuum and they sucked them through a hose system and shot them out . Owen thought it was a dream come true. This little guy loves balls!!
Then we found a room full of ball mazes.... another little piece of heaven. There was musical instruments all over the place.
Kamryn climbed up a "fort" and dropped a ball in the tubing that wraps around the entire room until it finds it's way to a bucket.

My favorite part of the museum was a giant shopping center and kitchen area they had setup. Owen loved digging into the lentils.
Ashley was the only one that thought the shopping center was fun. They had little grocery carts and food everywhere. You can shop and check out and then go next door to prepare "stir fry and pizzas". There were booths and dining tables for the parents to play with their kiddos.
Another of Owen's favorites was this bicycle car wash. Since he can't ride a trike yet, Ashley did the driving while he went for a ride.
Here they are going for another round. Ashley was so sweet to pedal Owen around! Kamryn was way too big for the trikes.
I can't wait until Owen is walking! We will definitely be getting a membership to the museum so he can go play and explore. He and Ashley really had a great time! We are planning a trip the AZ Science Center in a couple weeks and I'm sure that'll be more exciting for Kamryn.

After we left the museum, we headed over to Toby Keith's for lunch. Yummy food and a live band! If only the mechanical bull was operating, it would've been perfect, and we would have some more exciting pictures of the adults. I wish I would take more pictures of the adults. I have none. I guess we are all so busy with the kids that we forget to take pictures of each other.

Tomorrow starts another week. Kamryn has AIMS testing all week and Owen has lots of doctor appointments. I'll have an update from Cardiology tomorrow.
