AHA!

Andrew had a super fun day today; he got to visit the AHA children’s museum in Lancaster, OH with his Great-Aunt Cindy! The museum offers many different interactive stations for children of all ages. We spent a lot of time in the Plop Zone, which was for kids ages 0-3. It was an area where Andrew could crawl around and play freely, without the risk of being run over by a bigger kid! There was a foam slide and stairs to climb up and many balls to play with. Andrew practiced climbing up the stairs and sliding down the slide on his tummy (face first) and also climbing up the slide and trying to go down the stairs face first! Let’s just say it was never a dull moment keeping up with him!

We also spent some time at the water table playing with boats and duckies and trying not to get soaked. Then we played in a pretend house for a while working with tools and dug at the sand table with a rake and a shovel.

There were many other stations including a fire truck (with costumes), a Lego table, a bank, grocery store, kitchen, vet office, stage (with microphones and costumes), a garden and fishing! Many of those activities were for slightly older kids so we will have to go back some time and learn all about those!

Here are some pictures from our fun day!

Heading up the stairs!

Interesting way to go down the slide!!!
Trying to figure out how those balls got in there and how do they come out?
"YEAH, SAND!" Andrew's new favorite thing! We turned this kid into a sand monster!

Andrew had so much fun climbing on things at the museum that he decided he wanted to test out his skills at home! This is what he does when mom turns her back :)
