Childrens Museum Visit

We had a very fun visit to Portsmouth's "Virginia Childrens Museum" today. We met my girlfriend Julie there with her daughters, so Abby and Emily got to see the exhibits up close! It was a lot of fun and there was more to see than we had time for, so we'll have to go back again.
Emily & Abby....checking out the giant clock
Abby is about 7.5 dollar bills tall! (really she is 33"....got measured yesterday at the dr!)
Driving the firetruck..Abby steered while Emily shifted gears; neither could reach the pedals!
The "Bubble" exhibit....this was very cool! It had a few different bubble stations; this was one where you stand in the blue center and pull a rope down and a giant bubble surrounds you....until it pops!!

Story time.....there was even a reading room for kids to, well, read!

Abby and her "Elmo"....or as she says it...."Melmo"
TRAINS!!! "Choo Choo Trains" are Abby's new fascination the last few weeks. She knows exactly what they are and mostly what they do. We need to get her some train engines to play with at home!
The Giant Computer.....this exhibit was definitely geared toward the older kids, but cute nonetheless. It gave you an idea of what the inside of a computer looks like, as well as this giant stepping keyboard!
Abby's catch of the day.....a giant Nemo!
