The New Children's Museum


A friend from college and her family came to visit this weekend! They live in Los Angeles, but we still go months between visits. We love having guests and their family was especially fun to have stay with us. Thomas and Meredith had such a great time with Kai and Xander. It was non-stop fun for all four of the kids. My kids loved making pizzas with their friends and Thomas enjoyed having Kai bunk with him. They stayed up late chatting about how great it would be if they lived closer -- how cute is that!?


Saturday Mike and Thomas already had plans for a NASCAR event so it was just Meredith and I that joined Sofie's family at the New Children's Museum in San Diego. It was a first visit for all of us. This children's museum is different than any others I've been to. Each area is designed by a different artist complete with cards regarding intent and some fun options for how to engage the children at every age. There were several opportunities, too, for the kids to "make & take" things likes clay sculptures, paintings, musical instruments, and fabric arts. The exhibits engaged all their senses. I was really impressed and purchased a family membership so we can return again soon. The first week of April is Spring Break so you can already bet we'll be spending one of those days here!
