The Great Explorer

We decided to spend a cool and cloudy spring day at the Children's Museum with our friends Jena and David. Ryan was intent on exploring every inch of the museum, including the dandelions in the parking lot.

Once the flora had been sufficiently examined, we headed inside. The first stop is a full-size fire engine with kid-sized helmets and firefighter outfits.

It also has this rather terrifying (I think) model of a life-size firefighter, with a real hose and everything.

We then moved into the little kids area, where Ryan made a beeline for the giant teddy bears.

I thought he was going to spend the rest of the morning just chillaxin' with the bears, but then he remembered his mandate to EXPLORE.

We wrapped up the visit with a little magic potion mixing, which looked much more magical in person.
