Minnesota Children's Museum

Today after New Years Day breakfast at Bryan and Karen's we took the kids to the Children's Museum.  They had a blast in the water area playing with these boats.

Evan and I were at the museum about a month ago and he found some new favorites on this visit.  He enjoyed driving this bus.  The inside looked very similar to a bus you would ride around town.  He waited his turn and was able to be the driver.

He put on a postal shirt and pretended to be a mail carrier delivering mail.

Alex tried golfing.  He's not quite ready for this sport.

The conveyor belt was a favorite of Evan's during our last visit.  Alex also loved the conveyor as much as Evan.  We went back to play with it a couple times after going to other exhibits.

The boys spent a lot of time at this water table where you try to plug the holes so the ping pong balls will go through the PVC pipes and come out the other end.  You have to work together.  Alex's sleeves and front of his shirt were really wet!

Eric helped Evan use this crane to grab the board and put it in the truck.

Evan dressed up like a fireman.

Earlier in the day he dressed up as a fireman at Sophie and Jack's. 

Our breakfast group.  I think this is the 3rd year we have had breakfast at Bryan and Karen's on New Years Day.  Eric and I used to have a party, but then when everyone had kids nobody wanted to go out on New Years, so it turned into breakfast with kids.  We are missing Tyler and Jess who moved to Fargo this past fall.

A leftover pic from last night.  Happy New Year!  Eric and I rang in the new year at 11:00 with New York and I was asleep by 11:30.  Evan was up at 6:10.  I think he was excited for the activities of the day.  After the Children's Museum we met Nick and Steph at El Loro in Eagan for an early dinner.  The boys passed out on the way home and were exhausted from our busy, but fun day!  Evan told me tonight he wants to go back to the Children's museum when we don't have any plans.
