Children's Museum

This past Monday Brooks had the day off so we decided to take Gavin to the Children's Museum of Houston.  It was a blast.  When we first got there, I was worried that all the activities would be for older kids, but we found plenty of things for Gavin to play with, see, build, throw, try out, etc.  I guarantee you he was not bored for one moment.

We were in awe at all the fun things Gavin got to try and we were amazed at how into it he was.  Gavin "drove" a police car, recorded a news segment, shopped at the grocery store (my favorite), climbed up and around an obstacle course, and played on an outdoor playground.  Brooks and I LOVED watching Gavin move from one activity to another, checking out EVERYTHING.  He was very aware of what was going on and got involved in all the activities.  He would watch the other kids (such as in virtual dodge ball) and would mimic what they were doing.  He laughed and ran around.  He was definitely Mr. Independent, yet soaked up anything and everything we would show and teach him.

We packed sack lunches so we could spend as much time as possible at the Museum and found a picnic table outside to eat at.  It was a beautiful day and they had an outdoor playground and water works display so Gavin took advantage of them.  Gavin enjoyed going down the slides as well as climbing up the ladders.  We were so glad that we went and we know that Gavin had a great day!
