1st trip to the Brooklyn Children's Museum

It rocked. The hour long walk to get there on the other hand did not rock. I don't know what we were thinking. Keahi has been spoiled with his buggyboard and complained about any walking he had to do and dragged his feet so much that I wanted to scream. Oh, wait, I did. At him. And guess what, it didn't work. Threatening, cajoling, reasoning: nothing. But once we got there, suddenly his legs perked up and he, Jarom, and Caleb were up and running. It's a good thing Iz had the day off or I never would have attempted this on my own with 3 active boys. We only saw a tiny portion of the newly renovated space, but I think the boys all agreed that they're favorite part was this water play area with levers and things to manipulate and splash with. And Caleb loved dumping cups of water on Jarom's head...and Jarom loved it, too. After the water play, we headed up to the space science area where Keahi made a rocket and learned about eating and using the potty in space. The bulls-eye target you attach to your rear was particularly entertaining. But the rocket launching was definitely the big closer. Now we have to get a film canister and some alkaseltzer to recreate it at home. With our family pass, we'll definitely be going there again.....by bus.
