The DoSeum

Blake and I decided to take the kiddos to the San Antonio Zoo one Saturday - in AUGUST! With a chance of rain late in the day, we packed up the kiddos and the wagon and hoped to be there and back before the rain arrived. While driving there the weather was partly cloudy and not too hot yet. When I called Nannie to see if she and Guppie wanted to join us she informed me it was dreary and drizzling in San Antonio. About two minutes after I hung up with her, the slow rain started, much earlier than we had anticipated, so we made a quick decision to check out The DoSeum, a hands-on interactive children's museum that opened about a year ago. Greyson was a little disappointed that we weren't going to the zoo, but recovered quickly when I told him we were going to go play. We arrived and thought we would spend a couple of hours there and leave when Greyson got hungry and/or tired. Well, this place is huuuuge and awesome! It's a two-story building full of themed rooms and hands-on exhibits for small kiddos, adults and everyone in between. We spent a lot of time in the "tiny town" - grocery shopping at HEB, going to the post office and bank, riding the trolley and airplane and checking out the construction site. He also like the ball room, where balls were shot at targets and pushed through clear tubing using air pressure. After a few hours, we took a quick lunch break at the Taco Cabana next door and went back for a few more hours. Greyson (and Blake) had a great time testing out every single exhibit. The rain let up late in the day and we even got to check out the "big castle" (tree house) and water tables outside for a little bit before heading home. I think we definitely got our money's worth!

Buying diapers for Addison :) 

Buying groceries.

This job is easy, right Papa and Uncle Bryan?

Playing Battle Bots (sometimes Daddy had more fun than Greyson!).

The ball room! I think they spent two hours in there!

Another favorite... magnetic blocks. He loves playing with these at daycare.
