Austin Children's Museum

A dear friend Leslie and her son Andy invited us to join them at the Austin's Children's Museum last week. We had never been and were excited to check it out. We loved it!

Kevin really enjoyed running around and checking out all the activities and there were three that really kept him entertained. One area was where there is a little mariachi band area set up. He loved playing the "guitar" and the drums. Across from that was this little pinata fish, the kids would grab balls and fill the pinata, then pull a string and the balls would all fall out. Kevin had so much fun filling it and then pulling the string, and then doing it all over again. But his absolute favorite was the train.

He loved watching the train come in and out of the station, but he really loved listening to the different types of train whistles. He would push the button and try to imitate the sound. They had about 10 different train whistle sounds. It was pretty funny.

This is Kevin's friend Andy who invited us to join him. He loved the trains as much as Kevin did. I really love this photo of him, it seemed to capture the moment perfectly, each kids excitement and amazement as they saw the train up close and personal. The train goes by pretty quickly so the kids have to be fast to catch it, Andy was great at catching it, Kevin wasn't always as quick. :-)
