One of the most popular parts of the museum for my three was the grocery store section.
Note that Reid stocked his cart with several boxes of honey buns and chocolate peanut butter bars.
Reid seems to be gathering supplies a little more quickly than his twin brother....
Pierce, meanwhile, has waited patiently for his turn to be a checker. He loved checking out groceries for other kids.
Pierce climbed a rock wall on a large window overlooking the street.
One of the really interesting parts to the museum are these glass climbing slide things. They are kind of creepy since they are clear, but the kids were all over them. They went really high!
Of course there was an excellent pirate ship. Here, Pierce is mounting the black flag.
Looking for other ships.
Captain Cort. I think he needs a step stool so he can see where he's sailing.
On the lower level of the museum is a huge water table set up. The boys loved all the water features, although they did get slightly wet, even with aprons on.
There were plenty of boats for everyone.
And if you knew just where to crawl, you could duck under the water and wind up in a bubble in the middle.
Can you guess what the first thing Cort said to me when we got in the car to go get some lunch?
"But Mom, where's all my groceries?!" Poor thing - he thought we were really taking home the groceries he "bought" at the museum.

Sounds like you all had a great trip!! What fun! Watching kids have fun is fun to me!!
Poor Cort all that effort for nothing:)
Oh your boys look like they had an amazing time. Your posts always make me want to go out and borrow some kids:) B
We love that museum too. I am still bummed we were out of town when you were here.
Oh what a fun day.... and a pirate ship too. That is right up your boys alley.
Fun times! I would have put chocolate marshmallow cookies in my cart. A childhood favorite.
What fun! You boys really seem to have a sense of adventure and curiosity. They'll always have fun and learn, no matter where they go.
Looks like they all had a blast!
Oh my gosh - they looked so cute - and they had a great time!!

So very precious! I'm with Cort; loving the honey buns and not being able to bring them home. They are all so cute!! :)

Wow---what a neat museum..That is such a great place for children... It's fun but also a great learning experience.
I laughed at Cort asking where his groceries were... ha
Hugs,

Looks like so much fun. Wish it was closer to where we live. Awe poor thing went shopping and did not get to bring the loot home. I really feel for them when they don't understand.
Happy Monday!!
cute about the groceries. climbing a glass wall - interesting...
That is a very cool looking museum! Looks like loads of fun! Cort was just a little hungry from all of the calories he burned off climbing that wall!
I just love Greenville and the children's museum is WONDERFUL. My boys loved every minute of it. Did you make it to Soby's? Fantastic food!
My boys love children's museums! We've been to the Omaha, the Lincoln and a Chicago one. So far I thought the Lincoln one was the best. It was the most inexpensive one as well.
My kids always loved the shopping part of the kids' museums too! I really like that odd climbing structure. :)
The pictures are so cute! That looks like such a fun place to visit!
Poor Cort! I'd have wondered the same thing!
I loved museums like this when Amy was small. It looks like you guys had a very fun time-and your pictures are great!!
What an awesome museum! I love how the kids could go grocery shopping. So neat! Funny that Cort was wondering where the groceries were!
How friggin' fun!!! Love the twins and shopping carts photo.
Lots of imagination going on here, sounds like a wonderful place ;)
Aww, that's too bad about the groceries but it certainly looked like a fun day at the Museum.
Pierce is a little Paul, isn't he? He looks so grown up in these pix, Baby Girl! Great day for all!!?..:)JP
I wanna go in the bubble! ;)
LOL on the groceries. These are great and it looks like a fun outing to be on for the day. :)
Awww! Can't say I blame Cort for wondering about all his thoughtful purchases. Looks like a great day, especially the bubble.
Oh, that looks like a GREAT place to visit. I love children's museums--I like to do hands-on stuff too!
What a fun place. We have a children's museum about an hour away and I've been saying forever that we are going. We really are going one day soon. I don't know what it's like but if it's anything like yours, my Axle will LOVE it! Great Spring Break Day. Enjoy the rest of them :)
Very cool! We have a great children's museum here in our town, but my boys have kind of outgrown it already:(
I bet they were exhausted when they got home. It looks like that all had a blast!
