On a Friday in January, we met up with Uncle Josh, Aunt Jen, and Elijah at the Imagination Station in Toledo. Poppa and Grandma also came down with us (poor Daddy had to work). We had fun exploring this larger children's museum!
Poppa and Micah reported the sports news, including hockey scores, with the green screen behind them.
While we waited for Uncle Josh's family, Micah and Henry figured out how to use the machines to move the blocks.
When the others arrived, Elijah was instantly drawn to the blocks.
Henry tried to help him build a tower.
In the preschool area, the kids all spread out to check out different fun activities. Henry really liked the doctor's office, where he could take care of the baby dolls, including washing them in the sink.
Micah cooked in the kitchen.
Elijah loved the steering wheel on the fire truck!
There were a lot of firefighters that day - a pretty popular station.
Henry always enjoys playing in water. Here, he could float the ducks and sailboats.
Micah climbed up the side of the rock to the tree house via a rope.
But when it was time for the piano after our lunch break, all three boys found a way to play together!
Helen slept a while and then hung out in the stroller.
The boys found this tennis ball launcher fascinating.
Meanwhile, Helen was intrigued by Uncle Josh's goatee.
Josh tried to sell her on the idea of playing with the ducks.
Micah and Grandma worked to sail the boats back and forth to each other.
Elijah soon joined them.
It wasn't a steering wheel, but Elijah found another lever to pull, shooting water into the ball pit.
Another water table!
Henry and Grandma tried to talk through the tube to Mommy and Helen.
The air which kept this ball afloat caught Henry's attention for a while.
Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall!
The adults did get to chat a little bit as well.
While we didn't have time to see the whole place (we spent most of our time in the preschool area, which was quite large), we did have to stop before we left to get up on the tractor (that, unfortunately, made it very difficult to leave for some!).
All in all, it was a fun day with many new activities to stimulate the imagination!
