Children's Museum

Another day at the museum. We went Friday after Rebekah's school and the place was very empty. It was wonderful! We played at Doc's for a while and then tried out the new science works. Rebekah loved every minute.

The had a new water table that was very fun. You could create your own dam, work locks (which I found fascinating), and even run electricity to a building using the water. So - cool!

Then we played on tractors, harvested corn, researched tomato plant issues, and, yes my friends, explored caves complete with a head light!

Rebekah attended a class meant for kids 8 and older that was all about caves. We were assigned salamanders. We searched the caves to find some, drew pictures, and discovered attributes about them. I was so impressed how she kept up with the other kids. I think she impressed the class instructors too.

Eventually we stopped for a snack but not for too long for there was a whole galaxy to explore! Meet Space captain Rebekah and brave side-kick mama!

It hits me that our time doing these little outings together are coming to a close. A year from now she will be in kindergarten and I will have to wait until Saturday like every other mom to do these types of things. Oh so hard to let them grow up. I will truly miss these times together.
