Iowa Children's Museum

Today, we took Cecilia to the Iowa Children's Museum in Coralville, IA. We went with Grammy and Great-Aunt Janey, who has just got here on a visit from North Carolina. Cecilia seemed to have a blast today, and I'm sure that she will continue to enjoy it as she grows up, because there is just so much to do there. Plus when she is a little bit bigger, the other kids won't almost run into her as much!

We started out by playing in the little play supermarket that they have there. Cecilia was in heaven because there were thing to take off of the shelves and out of the bins and put into your cart. Her cart kept mysteriously getting empty every time she turned her back to it though...

Next we went to look at a little play hospital, but didn't stay there long. Then, we went into a room with all kinds of balls and cars to race on tracks and a little train set, but the only thing Cecilia could really play with on her own was the little slide. She had fun climbing up the steps and then making faces at Janey through the glass window at the top of the slide.

The next area was all about air. Cecilia got a chance to sit in a little plane and pretend to fly it. She looked really cute in there! Then, Cecilia had fun watching the ping pong balls and beach ball floating on streams of air. At one point, Grammy even put Cecilia on the air nozzle, but she didn't float up like the balls. :)

Next, we went upstairs to the area for little kids. Cecilia had fun running around and playing with all of the stuff there and we didn't have to worry (as much) about bigger kids coming and knocking her down. Cecilia was handing out flowers, went into the little house to get food, and went down both of the slides, including the big one!

Right before we left the mall, Grammy took Cecilia on a ride on the carousel. She really seems to enjoy carousels and had a lot of fun. All in all, it was a great day!
