We love the Museum of Life and Science here in Durham. We especially love it when members get in an hour before the general public. I think that M, L and I were the first non-staffers in the door this morning and that meant that we had the entire place to ourselves. We try to save the indoor activities for inclement weather, so with sunny skies and warm-ish temps already this morning, I herded them outside. They made a beeline for the sandbox.
After M used the tools in the sandbox, she divided them into categories and proceeded to line them all up. Guess all my work to keep things at home organized and show-ready have unintentionally rubbed off on her.
My favorite kiddos appeased me by pausing for a photo op outside the butterfly house.
Before too long, school groups arrived and the museum grounds were full of kids and parents and chaotic fun. It was so nice to start off the day quietly, though!
