Children's Museum

Today it was off to the Navy Pier Children's Museum! 

And it was a blast... from our last visit to this visit so many exhibits had been changed. So this was as good as a whole new museum. Plus, the girls are about a year older than the last time we visited.

Waitress Linnea amazed us with her balancing abilities...

Future 'Well worker' Signe served up some delicious icecreams

Here's part of the gang sitting back and enjoying the circus foods

One of the new exhibits going on now is the CIRCUS exhibit. The girls played with serving circus foods for quite some time before trying out the balancing beam, clown clothes, trapeze and other fun things.

This was a first, both girls wanted to try out the climbing nets that children can climb from floor to floor instead of taking the traditional stairs. Linnea was first and then chickened out when she looked down. So SIGNE climbed on out and across without hesitating. Linnea made friends with a older girl who helped coach Linnea across. She was so sweet and we appreciated her helping SO MUCH!

Another new exhibit was a construction/building exhibits. This was perfect for Papa! He taught the girls what to do and helped them build. They really enjoyed this activity!

The water exhibit is always there and Linnea, Signe & Mormor had fun writing with water, Papa had them creating water ways and in general everyone enjoyed getting a bit cooled off!

New as well was a 'collections room' full of little drawers, table top displays and such of many MANY different collections of small things, similar things, and so on. Perfect because it was right near the bathrooms and we took turns looking at the stuff and using the restrooms!

THUMBS UP for the Navy Pier Children's Museum!
