We braved the children's museum today. I have been wanting to go for almost as long as we have lived in Houston, but never got around to it until today. Coming home... I remain unimpressed. It might have been different if I had gone before we had Connor or if I had James to help out. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't that much fun and a lot of that is because I felt outnumbered in many ways.
It also didn't help that there were a large number of school groups who tended to take over once they were set loose. When my 4 & 5 year old are being crowded out by older kids without direct adult supervision... *sigh* Also, when I attempted to go to the tot spot to let Connor have some roaming time, they refused to let me in because the girls were too big. I understand they don't want big kids playing there, but there was no option for the girls to sit quietly somewhere and let their little brother have a moment. So, basically, Connor spent the entire trip in the stroller, since when I let him out he tended to shove legos and plastic cubes in his mouth...

| The point was to stretch and touch 4 lights at once before they changed. Megan just danced. |
 |
| The girls got overwhelmed early on, so we took a break to color. |
 |
| Finally found something the girls would do without hanging on to me. A mini obstacle course. |
 |
| With apron strings snipped, the girls braved the rock wall. |
 |
| They didn't get very high, but they were so proud of how high they did get. |
 |
| Playing with water and PVC pipes. Mostly just water in Connor's case. |

| Connor's new little friend. The little guy hopped right over to him. |
