We spent the weekend in Pittsburgh for the reception on Saturday. So on Sunday we went to the Children’s Museum on our way home. Both Desmond and Eloise had a great time and it wore them both out so the trip home was a lot nicer then the trip there. They had a nice water play area, a great toddler/infant play area, a slide, an a temporary Bob the Builder exhibit, it ended last weekend actually. Desmond saw the Bob exhibit and started chanting “Bob, Bob!” as he ran towards it. He also met Bob, which he really liked, which makes me happy for Disney, he wasn’t huge on staying still to get his picture taken with Bob, but he liked seeing and meeting Bob. In fact as we were leaving we saw Bob again as he was being led by his handler to the back stage area. Desmond went up and said hi, and then tried to lead him down the hallway telling Bob “come, come.”

First is Desmond on the climbing structure at the start of the museum. He really liked this, though he didn’t go that high in it.

Then we have Desmond playing with the bird seed sandbox in the infant and toddler area.

Here is Desmond with his favorite exhibit, it is a ball maze type thing that rings bells, he spent 15+ minutes playing with it, two different times.

Here is Eloise enjoying the infant area, and looking at the fish tank that was there to amuse the infants as well.

Water play, Desmond refused to put on a yellow raincoat, but I had brought a change of clothes for him inside the museum so we let him get as wet as he wanted and changed him when he was done. His pants didn’t get very wet, he did need a new shirt though.

And finally Desmond in the Bob the Builder area, playing with the different exhibits and meeting Bob.

The end of the trip involved Desmond climbing again, to make sure he was all worn out.
