Bay Area Discovery Museum

We took the kids to the Bay Area Discovery Museum a few weeks before we moved. I took Ava to the museum way back when and thought that this would be a great place for both kids to run around. The price is a little steep. They actually make you pay for anyone over 6 months old, but I found a super awesome coupon here that made the trip a little more reasonable. Here's the view from the parking lot. I don't think you could be any closer unless your were standing directly on the bridge.


Reid made a little girlie friend. Reid was showing her his water splashing skills. I think she was very impressed.


Ava is showing off her hoarding skills. A few moments later we had to enact a 2 fish only rule. Reid is such a goof. He totally cracks me up in this pic.

Looks like we've got a little monkey boy of our own. He almost made it into the water multiple times. You look away for one second and that is long enough for him to make his move. This past week Reid figured out how to pull out the kitchen chairs, climb onto the chairs, and then get onto the kitchen table. He's only 14 months old.

What is it with kids and chasing birds. Reid followed the bird all over the place. I love the pic of him reaching for the bird as he flies away. Ava couldn't help herself from chasing a few birds. Oh, if you can't tell, in the picture with both kiddos by the fence Ava is sharing her snacks with her brother...through the fence. Ha.

After playing in the toddler section for quite awhile, we headed over to check out the other areas of the museum. One section was all about space and astronauts. This is probably pretty immature, but I couldn't help myself from taking a picture of the sign below.


Notice the sign on the side of the wall. Oh geez. And there are even straps on the ground to make sure you don't float away. Going to space would be quite the experience.

Another area at the museum was one all about transportation. Ava LOVED the trains. She actually had quite the meltdown when we told her it was time to go.

You know you've had a good time when you pass out within minutes of starting the drive home.
