The Children's Museum

Among our growing list of memberships is the Seattle Children's Museum. After spending a few years in NYC, Dad has come to think of a museum in a certain light...however different, the Children's Museum is a hit with Ella and perfect for the impending Northwest winter.

One of the exhibits is a Metro Bus...assembled from actual bus pieces. It's a big hit as Ella has taken a liking to driving Mom's car these days.

OK, it's hard to tell what is going on here, but this is Ella exiting the mouth of a whale....makes sense now huh?

Occasionally the simplest activity is a big hit. Not much tops a slide, especially a fast metal slide (all the slides at the parks are made of plastic in these safety conscious days).

The museum has a large multicultural area. Here Ella and Dad play the drums in an African household. Just take a guess who has more rhythm? (Hint: it's not Dad)

Ironically not as big a hit as we thought it would be, the grocery store exhibit allowed Ella to fill Mom's shoes for a half an hour....
