San Jose Childrens Discovery Museum

Several moms in our ward playgroup have mentioned how much their children enjoy the Children's Discovery Museum. So we decided to check out the annual memberships since it costs $10/person 1 and older. The place was PACKED for the last day of the Curious George exhibit.

First we went to see George. There were so many people everywhere we didn't stay too long. But McKay was really excited to see George all over the room and we got a lot of smiles at his monkey sound.

When I was finally able to snag a watering can from a child who was going back inside just before another child took it (heehee), McKay really enjoyed filling it up and watering the plants in the garden.

The water works activity was a huge hit. McKay got really wet but he didn't mind too much until we got outside and he felt the breeze. They have little plastic clothing covers to help keep you from getting drenched but the only free one I could find was totally wet. The other moms said their kids always got drenched anyway so we made sure it was our last stop. This is the toddler section of the water works. Jordan had a hard time getting McKay's picture because he was always moving around, getting more balls to put in the water. It was definitely a favorite spot!

Another place we visited that McKay loved was the toddlers room (of course). Next time I will have to take pictures there. There were lots of balls to put in a huge funnel, the alphabet on little doors with corresponding objects to see and feel, and a small corridor under the stairs with stars on the ceiling and an aquarium on the side. They also have a story time daily. McKay loves story time at the library so we'll have to hit that one too!

It's gonna be a fun year!
