I finally took the real camera to the Please Touch Museum. The old Please Touch is closing on Labor Day and reopening at its new home on October 18th. I cannot wait to see the new museum but am afraid that it will not be as wonderful as the intimate space that is a straight shot up 21st Street. Even though some of our favorite exhibits have already moved to Memorial Hall, we have managed to have a lot of fun at the museum this summer.
Gus playing hopscotch on a course made from electrical tape. He studied a big kid playing the game for quite some time and then mimicked everything she did, right down to taking a bean bag from another exhibit to use as a stone.
Theo standing under the belly of the elephant made of toys.
Theo double-fisting the coffee at the grocery store cafe.
Amy and Theo in the grocery store cafe. Kids kept bringing us bread.
Theo lending a hand at the treehouse.
Gus riding the farm tractor.
Theo and the chickens.
Gus riding a pig.
Theo and the birdhouse. This was Gus's favorite thing in the museum when he was Theo's age. When you open the door there is a mama bird and she chirps and feeds a worm to her babies.
Gus and Theo sailing on Max's boat from Where the Wild Things Are.
"If Gus is going to water the flower boxes, I am going to water the flower boxes."
Gus showing Theo how to drop the ball down the chute and make the chimes play. This was another favorite for Gus at Theo's age.
What is Gus's current museum favorite?
The water fountain. In fact now when he asks to go to the museum he says, "Mumma, can we go play in the water fountain at the Please Touch?" He could spend all day at it.
