Museum of WOW

On Tuesday we packed up our lunches, picked James up from half-day Kindergarten and headed to Lafayette, CO to visit the WOW Museum. I have to say, I was not that impressed at first. It's really a small place compared to what I was expecting (and I was expecting more along the lines of a Children's Museum). The kids kept finding more things to do though and eventually we had spent almost two and a half hours there. I would definitely recommend to at least try it for ages 5 and under...there just is not enough to keep the older ones entertained. I would even just say ages 2-5. Anyways, the kids would say they had a good time.

This was a cute little sandpit they had inside.

James manned the phones at the bank station they had...which was by far their favorite place and where we spent the majority of our time.

Jagger's favorite spot was the block area.

Jen and Emily decided to go checkout what was outside. Unfortunately, they locked themselves out when they went! After I took a picture and laughed at them for a few minutes I let them back in.

The dress up area...Emily, you are simply goorrgeeouuss!

Back at the bank station. They were able to put the money into the tube thing and send it to the other side. So fun!
Ally spent so much time here she finally went and got a chair for her to sit on! haha

The art room...the little girl between James and Jagger was not with us. We used Em's head to block her out...hahaha! The kids made St. Patrick's decorations and then we brought the supplies home for Kaylee to make one too. We decorated the french doors in the dining room, made a chocolate cake with green icing and that was our St. Patty's celebration!

Big pirate ship by the front door.

Jagger wanted to bring this costume home so bad. I'm thinking we will be looking for one, albeit a much cuter one!, on ebay for a birthday present.
So, while it was not my most favorite place, the kids did enjoy playing for the afternoon.
