The Children's Museum

Ahhhhh!!! It has finally arrived a place for kids in Jackson. An amazingly affordable, creative, fun, engrossing, fantastic place for kids to be kids. There are exhibits that range form science to creativity to imaginative play to fine and gross motor skills. In all honesty it is EPIC! I love it, just utterly adore it, and can not begin to praise it enough. For a mom of three very different children, all very different ages, with very different ideas of fun;  all  facing moths of snow and cold and winter, here came a haven. Catered to the interest of all of my kids, and even  some teaching going on hidden there behind the fun.  I don't want to give too much away because I want each and every person to experience it for them selves. Even as an adult I enjoyed both times I went and discovered new things myself. here is the link http://www.jhchildrensmuseum.org/about.shtml

The first time we went to the museum was a private party for St. Johns Church. My Mother was visiting from Cheyenne for Emma's birthday and we decided it would be a fun little adventure. This first time they had these blue building blocks and cylinders that were life size for most of the kids in there. The project of the day was making hands for The Clubhouse hand tree. We all made one and put them up on the wall. The other project was making fires by blowing paint. The shadow room was perhaps my favorite, until of course we found the reading nook and the bullfrog.  We spent about 2 hours exploring and just getting the basic run around of the place. Afterwards we went to Dairy Queen for a treat and then headed home.
