Children's Museum of Seattle

On Thursday we took Benny to the Children's Museum in downtown Seattle. He had a great time, up until he got hurt. We could have spent the whole day there and we look forward to bringing him next year when he will be big enough to do more things.

This was part of an exhibit having to do with Mr. Potatoe Head. In this section, Mr. Potatoe Head was an astronaut. Benny liked playing with the knobs and switches. This is where he got his boo-boo. He was trying to get down off the step and slipped and hit his mouth and split his lip. (More pictures of that later.)

There was a section devoted to only kids 3 and under. Benny really enjoyed playing at this water table.

Another part of the museum brought books to life. Here Benny liked playing with the buttons. The story was about Frog and Toad and a missing button. You had to follow the clues to find the right button. Benny didn't understand. He just liked pushing the buttons to see what would happen.

Another section of the museum was called Cog City. Here kids could do different things with ping pong balls. This is a picture of Benny putting a ball through these tubes.

We had a lot of fun that day. Benny did really well overall. I know this would be a great place to take Grandpa and Grandma or Aunts and Uncles.
