The Children's Museum

I recently read something that inspired me.  It said, if you find yourself having trouble with procrastination, go easy on yourself.  Demand something less than perfection and you will find yourself sailing through your to-do list.  At first I scoffed thinking, "I procrastinate because of time!  Not because I'm a perfectionist!"  As I pondered the statement I realized it was true.  Why have I not blogged forever (prior to this blogging binge I've gone on this week) because I felt like they needed to be cleverly written and after a day of watching two kids (I babysit my two year old niece) I feel anything but inspired, just tired.  So, I have given myself the liberty of posting blogs that contain mostly photos or events told in less than my most creative way.

Kevin's older sister and her family were in town last week.  So we got to spend time with them and do a few fun things too.  We all went to the Children's Museum in downtown Salt Lake.  If you have children I HIGHLY recommend it.  It is packed with tons of interactive exhibits the kids had a blast.....and I can't speak for Kendra and Mike but Kevin and I had a good time "helping" the kids with a few of the exhibits too.  Unfortunately I didn't get very many photos of the cousins because the second we set foot in the Museum they all dispersed like flies from a jar.

We were surprised at how many Ky-Ky sized exhibits there were.  This one the balls dropped from the top setting off lights and sounds and other fun chain reactions.


They called this the "kid's eye view" it was a construction zone.  


Kylea was so excited that she could get this little car to move, I could barely get her out of it when it was time to let other kids have a turn.

Water play!

the birdhouse!

Kaydence gave the rock wall a try

Too little for this exhibit still.



This exhibit was the perfect cruising height for Kylea she spent a good half hour here checking out all the bins.






Daddy entertained us with a one man bird show.
By entertain I mean..... he stalked all the cousins while making loud bird screeches and flapping the wings of his costume.  Kacie (10) thought it was funny but all the smaller kids are hiding behind the curtain.  If you look close you can see their little feet poking out.

Kylea wasn't so sure about all the loud sounds it made.
