Day at the Childrens Museum

The 4 Buchanan Men-Dad, Uncle Mark, Tyler and Ethan

Passed out 5 minutes after we left.

Today we went to the Childrens Museum to celebrate cousin Ethans 4th birthday. We have been excited for this trip for a while now. After eating cake and opening presents, we all wondered throughout the museum. Alexandra enjoyed the exhibit for children 3 and under the most. She seemed a bit overwhelmed with all the unfamiliar faces but started to warm up and do things on her own. She especially enjoyed getting her hands wet and playing in the water activity center. We both enjoyed that until someones lil brat of a daughter threw a toy into the water soaking Alex and mommy. My mouth became foul and attitude worse as I began to hunt down this ankle biters parents. And the thing is her mother was watching her the whole time and didnt even apologize for what her daughter had done. After getting Alex calmed down and wiped away the tears, we rode the carosel. This was the second time she has been on a carosel. She didnt want to sit on a horse this time. She wanted to sit on Mommys lap. So we sat on a bench and said hi to Daddy as we passed him. We knew she was getting tired and all the excitement was wearing her down when she didnt want to run around. So we left after a few more activities. Doug and I have decided that we will take off a week day and bring her back to the museum. Maybe next time it wont be as crowded and she will open up a lil more to all the activities and fun.
