The Houston Children's Museum

I'm realizing that I have a lot to blog about, but I figured I would post them in the order that they happened. Last Wednesday, (I can't believe that was basically a week ago already) Zach and I traveled downtown with G-ma, Papa, and Jaeden. We had a lot of fun. We first headed over to the Toddler area. We figured there would be lots for them to do there.
Zach took a liking to this green block. I had to get his picture with it. He carried it everywhere with him. If he happened to set it down to do something, he would pick it right back up and go to his next enticement. If you look real close you can see Jaeden in the mirror back there. It wasn't planned, but he's in the picture too! After about an hour in the Tot Spot we decided we better explore more of the museum before it was time to leave due to cranky boys.
We soon found the "physics" part of the museum. Zachary definitely enjoyed himself there. Of course his Papa did too, being that he once taught the subject to high school students now in their late 30's.















Zach first found lots of excitement in dropping a golf ball down these tracks and watching it spin around at the bottom like a roller coaster ride. He could have dropped the ball endlessly.
We then moved on to more fun. We found the funnel that normally you see on display as a charity catcher. You typically watch some coin spin round the funnel until it disappears into the bottom as your donation. However, this one was endless fun with golf balls that would roll out the bottom so that you could drop them again and again. As you can see, all the boys were mesmorized by the balls spinning round and round.
Unfortunately, that was about all we had time for. We only saw about 1/4 of the museum probably. Hopefully we will be able to make it back again soon!
