It is no secret that we love the Children's Museum. It is also not a secret that we love Dr. Seuss. When you put the two together, we were in literary heaven!!! The Children's Museum had a limited-time exhibit of several Seuss sculptures and original artwork from the books. Granna's fave was the classic Cat in the Hat.
I freaked out over this display of Seuss' original sketch for Cat and the finished product below. SO COOL!!!!
Yertle was the boys second favorite sculpture. The details on the statue were beautiful!!!
Everybody loves the Cat!
Jacob was excited to see the huge Sneetch drawing. He has always had a soft spot for The Sneetches!
My favorite statue... Green Eggs and Ham. Some of my favorite Seuss memories as a teacher revolve around making green eggs and ham with my class each year. It also reminds me of the three Seuss Birthday parties we had when the boys were younger... GREAT memories!
This was the boys favorite... Grinch and Max! I think they liked Max the most! :)
Then it was time to explore the rest of the museum. We have not been in about 4 months (gasp!) and things had been re-arranged! Rylan loved this tunnel tube!
One more Seuss ode... Horton for Mr. Kouba! We love to hear him tell this story with all his crazy voices!
Using "the force" at the air table. They even got Granna to use the force too!
Granna and Jacob building atoms. They had fun making unique formations. It reminded me of trying to help Beth study for Organic Chemistry at HU. Bless her heart that I even tried because Organic Chemistry and I do not mix!
This was new and instantly became the new favorite table... taking over the rolling ball table. It is a catapult!!! Granna and I would build structures and then the boys would release the ball to knock down the structure. It was SO fun and they squealed every time!!!
Another new table... magnets! Rylan would build the wall then karate chop it down flat!
The boys did the Power Tower for almost 30 minutes! They went from the very bottom to the very top twice! It wore me out just watching them!
Jacob was sooooo excited to finally see the Mayan face light up when they got the pieces in order!
The boys were hesitant to be photographed with a villian... they crack me up!
Once again, it was a GREAT afternoon at the Children's Museum!
