National Museum day!

San Bernardino Museum 5/2/10

Who knew they had National Museum day.. and who knew it was going to turn out to be totally awesome. The first sunday of the month the San Bernardino museum is free to get into, its not expensive to go otherwise, $8 for adults and $6 for kids I think, but, let's face it, that place hasn't changed since I was little and probably way before that too so taking advantage of free day is the way to go! Lily has a kick looking at mammal hall and all the bugs they have in the kids area in the back, so its definitely worth the few bucks once in a while. Today they had all sort of activities for the kids. There was music, bbq and dancing for entertainment and all sorts of arts and crafts, including people making balloon animals and cool chalk art on the cement (Lily wasnt really feeling that). Lily got a Thomas the Train book (complete with audio cd) and was able to silk screen her own t-shirt. She got a pencil with a brain eraser which she has been excited about all day long.. only my kid would be stoked on a brain eraser.. haha!

She chose the chihuahuas for her tshirt.

Making a sock puppet, which is currently named Oobi, and which I was just able to take off of her because she just fell asleep.. what time is it anyways....

say Hello to Oobi!

Did I mention she wore that sock almost all day long..

Touching a lizard.. it was pretty soft.. but not my ideal of a pet thats for sure.

Hers is the artwork to the left with the brown border.. they got to paint the canvas too.

Rail cars

Such a good sunday and a perfect way to end the weekend. The kids got to do so much at the museum, it was really fun. They decorated picture frames too, which Lily covered with about 2 pounds of glitter glue, its lovely and now sitting atop her dresser. I honestly couldnt think of a better person to spend my time with, I hope she always knows how much I love her and love being around her and watching her learn and discover and be Lily. She's quite infectious and anything I can do to make her laugh and smile makes my life that much better. She is the sweetest thing you'll ever meet.

Good night!
