Saturday w/ Alex

We had a good weekend.

On Saturday, we returned to the Children's Science Museum in St. Paul. It was a family outing this time - all three of us. It was clear that Alex remembered the place, as he had formed very strong opinions as to where he wanted to go first. He headed straight for the crane, though I suspect the main attraction there for him is the "big truck" that the operator of the crane is attempting to load. He was more interested in watching that than he was in playing with the controls.



After that, we headed over to the boats, where he remembered how that whole process worked. The Museum is interesting, since a particular exhibit can be packed with a dozen kids (not good for a wee little one like Alex), but if you wait 5 minutes, they all leave and you have the place to yourself. In any case, he enjoyed playing with the boats and other water stuff.


After that, we headed upstairs to the "Hobi-tot" - a special play area for kids up to 4 years old. This tends to be less crowded than some other areas, and the kids are young enough that they are still ok with sharing. Alex likes running around there, and playing hide-and-seek with Mom & Dad.
