Children's Museum Free Day

Denver's Children's Museum and Target have partnered together and because of this partnership, the museum offers free days the first Tuesday of every month.  Since Jake wasn't able to come with us last time and it was his reading week (in prep for finals), we went for a bit.

Ellie was just as excited this time as she was when my mom was here.  She wanted to show daddy everything, especially the trains.

Train Conductor Ellie here to knock the train over and break the track.
 We spent some time playing in the animal area again. Ellie needed a little persuasion to go down the stairs the first time, but I think it's because there were probably 3x the people/kids there this time compared to last.
 Because there were so many kids, I wasn't able to dress her up in those cute costumes again.

We had a lot of fun in the bubble room.
Help. Daddy trapped me in a bubble.

I geeit. I geeit.

Pop!
 We tried to stand in the bubble enclosure but there was this rude little kid, around 8 or 9 years old, whose mother hadn't taught him to share hogging it.  He played and held the rope for close to 5 minutes while we were waiting and around 10 minutes before we started waiting. He had to stay inside the enclosure and wouldn't let the other kids touch the rope to pull the bubble up around them. His mother just sat nearby watching all the other people standing, waiting for their turns and she would just giggle like he was simply being cute.

We also went shopping. Ellie loves shopping.

Momma, money?
 They had done a little rearranging with the activity centers since our last visit. The market was between the invention center and the animal area. Where the market had been was now an animal care center. Kids to dress up and pretend to be vets, assistants, groomers, etc. There were checklists and supplies all over the place.
Ellie picking out her victim, I mean, her patient.
 She chose to be a groomer.
Aahh. Isn't that sweet?

Brush, brush, brush.
Watch out family in Utah with pets. She is fully ready to be your pets groomer. I just know Bella and Baxter (Calee and Devin's dogs), Sophie (G-ma Wendy's dog), Reagan (Stef's cat), Tippy Coconut (Maddie's cat), and all the animals at G-ma and G-pa Wattersons are going to love having a new groomer.

Seriously, who wouldn't want a cute pet groomer like this.
BWAHAHA!
We had lots of fun and were glad that daddy could come play too.

Oh my heck, she looks so cute in the conductor hat. Looks like we should get her some to wear. Tell Jake congrats on the internship. Tyler has family that lives in Denver to so I think we are going to plan a week or so to come visit everyone. (that is if my work will let me off). If not it will be more towards the end of summer when things slow down.
