DuPage Children's Museum

We babysat Alex yesterday. Our plan was to go to the zoo again, but the wind was too intense. So we decided to take him to the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville. We all had a great time. In the car on the way there. He was being silly.

Rick tried to explain gravity to Alex in this part of the museum.

Still working with gravity. Alex would run the ball to the top of the ramp and then run around to meet it at the bottom.


Rick just waited for the ball at the bottom of the ramp.



Gears--Alex was quick to catch on to how this worked.

They have a cool workshop with real tools for the kids at their level.





This was a tunnel above the workshop for the kids to climb through. Alex told Rick to go back downstairs because he was too big.

The water exhibit was on our the favorites.



Rick is inside the bubble and we are dumping water on him.



Drying off afterwards

This was like the bank teller. Alex loved watching his ball going through the tunnel and sending it back and forth.


He was trying to reach an air gum but had to press his nose against the glass...it was really funny.




This is what he was reaching for.
