This past weekend we decided to spend a day in Portland. We spent the morning at a fabulously fun place called OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). They have a large area dedicated to young kids.
We have been there several times already...so the boys knew to head straight for the water play area. They get to put on rubber boots and a smock and then get to work. Here Dylan has figured out how to turn a wheel to get water to come out of a pipe...and stretch his arms to fill up his watering can.
In the water play area they had a flowing river with animals and trees that you can move around. Cole had so much fun finding the perfect places to put the animals and then would sprinkle them with his watering can.
After the water they were off to play with the balls! There were several ball activities...but their favorite this time was the one where you put the ball in the whole in a pipe, close the flap and the ball would shoot up out of the top of the pipe and land in a funnel that would take the ball back down another pipe that was right next to them.
Dylan said he was driving a kite with this activity. By turning this steering wheel a large kite looking structure way up at the ceiling would spin round and round.
Cole loved this table of activities. He got to measure things and they had a scale that he got to weigh things too!
After a great morning we stopped in at the boys Auntie Julie, Uncle Todd and cousins Miles and Brooke's house for a quick visit. Luck for us it wasn't raining and we got to play on their new playground equipment! Dylan has never sat in a swing as long as he did this day...I think it was the special person that was pushing him the whole time that had him sitting for so long!
Auntie Julie giving good bye hugs to...who is that guy?!
Dylan Blue...the rock star! It must be the glasses!
...or maybe he was born a rock star!
