Please Touch

On Saturday, we used our super duper membership to get into the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia for free. That saved us $60. We did have to pay $8 to park and the carousel was $3 per child. We also ate lunch in the Please Taste Cafe. Surprisingly, the food was reasonably priced.
We started out in the water play area and then Wesley and Lydia played on the big keyboard.

Josiah found a piano that was his size. He is such a happy baby.

After looking at each and every option on the carousel, Lydia finally chose a rabbit.

Wesley chose a goat.

Josiah really liked the carousel but he seemed to get tired before the ride was over.

Lydia pretended to cook in Wonderland.

Sometimes she is quite contrary.

This cute little boat, that went up and down, was in one of the special areas for kids three and under. It provided a nice challenge for Josiah's balance.

At 11:00 we saw a magic show. The kids got to pet the rabbit after the show. Wesley is still wondering how the magician made the rabbit appear.

Lydia and Wesley both enjoyed the grocery store.

This cute baby really had a good time at the museum.

Wesley asked Chris, "What is this?"

Wesley got to use the scope to pick up balls.

Lydia had a turn, too.

Josiah complained when I picked him up from this car.

This was a cute little model car wash.

Lydia was very serious about pumping the gas.

Here she is "driving" the Scion.

We need one of these hampster wheels at home!

Chris and Josiah on a space shuttle.

Lydia and Wesley loved launching the foam rockets.

Josiah had fun pushing buttons on the control panel.

This is something we probably wouldn't try at home - painting bubble wrap.

The Play Foam is pretty cool. So cool, that we went by the gift shop to buy some to take home.
After 4 1/2 hours, we were ready to leave. We took a short drive to zoo where we spent two hours. It was a super fun day!

What a fun place! It makes me want to hop on a plane and head that way! My friend Becca just started a travel blog - www.rwethereyetmom.com - and I bet she'd love to feature some of your summer outings!
