A snow day without snow.

We had a snow day, one day last week and there was no snow on the ground so we decided to go to the kids museum. I had Hayden with me this time too. Four kids are a lot to watch at a place like this!!

Hayden was doing his best Godzilla impersonation at the train tables. I think he pulled it off!
While Hayden was wreaking havoc on the poor townspeople in Trainville, my girls were cooking in the kitchen (wow talk about gender roles, sheesh).
I was excited to go to the museum this time because the just unveiled a new exhibit. It was all about money. This suspended pig filled with the ball pit balls then drops the balls on the children waiting below. It's quite funny to watch, especially when your unsuspecting kid, Brie, was standing right under the drop zone. It scared the crap out of her. I knew it was coming and I just stood there and watched. Does that make me a bad mother? Notice Hayden on the left looking up at the pig waiting for the balls to fall out.
Brie liked dancing on the coins. You bounce on these and they light up.
Amanda was working for her money. She was working very diligently to bake a perfect pizza.
Looks like she did a good job because she got paid! Way to go Amanda!
Since she was so successful at making pizza's, Amanda moved on to the lemonade stand. Lemonade anyone?
To help you along you walk with money you have Banker Betty,
and Freddie Frugal. Pretty nice people. I spoke with them, wanted to find out their thoughts on debt. They said they weren't a huge fan and that you need a budget. Who knew a children's museum would actually teach the kids something real world useful?!?
Uh oh, maybe I spoke too soon. Here's the loan department run by, non other than, my daughter. Shhh...don't tell Justin.
I am pretty sure Hayden's favorite part of the museum was the fish. He kept running back to the tank so excited. I wonder if it's because his dad used to work for an aquarium?

So really... it was a "snow day" for the teachers to go skiing, even though there was no snow where they lived. :o) Glad you made good use of the time!

Do you have skiing over there? I don't remember seeing any mountains anywhere on the east coast in our geography class...

Love that kids' museum! Maybe we can get one here. Shunshine Girl - you lived around real mountains too long! Time for a trip to your cousin's place.
