Children's Museum of Eau Claire

Friday, March 19, 2010

Yesterday we headed to Eau Claire to have Lauren's 2-year and Ella's 6-month pictures taken. It went pretty well- our smiley Ella got all shy and serious, and our serious Lauren was actually pretty happy! Oh well, I kind of know by now that pictures never go as well as you want, but they were still able to capture some cute shots. I will share those as soon as I have access to them. After pictures we went to the mall and Lauren scored a few summer staples from gap, including the cutest distressed jean skirt and jean shorts! Next we headed to lunch with Uncle Joe at Red Robin- I devoured my usual teryacki chicken with grilled pineapple while Dan went with a huge burger with a fried egg on top (he swears it is the best burger ever!). After lunch we decided to check out the Children's Museum of Eau Claire, and we are glad we did! I think we will be able to enjoy this for years to come, and I can't wait until Ella is old enough to play with Lauren there (while I sit by the other parents and read a book... ha!). Lauren had a blast. They have a Bitty City set up, complete with an orthodontic office, post office, bank, grocery store, and diner. She would have played there all day if we weren't so tired. They also have a Toddler Park, with trees to climb, a bridge, garden, and slide. The other exhibits were a bit old for her, but she still had fun and got plenty wet at the waterworks exhibit.

Entering the digestive tract through the mouth- this was a series of enclosed tunnels and slides, complete with gurgling sounds!

Ella enjoyed herself too!

Sooo tired- taking advantage of the hour-long ride home!
