Children's Museum and the Insectarium

What a fun Saturday!! We took Emerson to the Children's Museum in New Orleans. We then met up with Lance, Amy and Wyatt for lunch the Insectarium and some shopping and ice cream.

We had not been to the Museum or the Insectarium yet and they are both great places for the kids. The Museum was fun for Emerson to play. She got to go shopping in a mini grocery store and play the kids cafe. I thought she would really like the kitchen part and really want to serve us food. She was only really interested in the coffee pot and the mop. HMMM...interesting why she would be drawn to those items. The Insectarium is fabulous and very well done. There were a few things that freaked her out, but most of all she liked the bugs. We went into the theatre to watch a small movie and it was interactive. The seats moved and wind and water blew in your face. She was not thrilled! They even have a bug cafe where you can test dips and snacks made with worms and other bugs. Denny and I were the only 2 brave enough- or stupid enough to taste. We had promised the kids ice cream, so we headed to Lakeside for ice cream and Pottery Barn kids for Amy.

Emerson had a fun time. We are really beginning to realize how fast she is growing up. We did not use a stroller until we got to the mall and she went to the whole day without a nap! On the way home we just knew she would crash, but she didn't. It was early to bed for her!

I will post the pics from the day in a few.
