Hi Ho...Hi Ho...It's off to the......

Well, the other day, we were supposed to meet Auntie Jen at the zoo, but since it was raining, we ended up at the Children's Museum instead.

Here was Maya's busy morning....
Auntie Jen and Maya were looking at the fish tank in the kiddie area. At one point, Maya pointed to a fish and said, " Nemo fish there." Jen and I just looked at each other, smiled and said, "where?"

The two of them painted the rocks with water. Maya kept saying, "more paint."

Picking out the right clothes to dress the baby was a tough decision.

While Auntie Jen was still talking to Maya about which shirt to put on the baby, Maya decided to climb into the doll crib.

It is always interesting to see who is standing under the holes in the construction area. When Auntie Jen asked Maya who she saw, Maya said, "boys down there." She was right.

While Auntie Jen was making a bowl with clay, Maya was busy making "dots." We soon found out that it really wasn't the clay, she was interested, but the water instead.

Maya thought it was very funny to pour water from one bowl to another. When she was out of water, she would go to another table, get the full bowl of water and bring it back to Auntie Jen. After "stealing" two bowls, Auntie Jen said enough is enough.

Before a tantrum started, it was off to another activity...
Anytime Maya gets to use crayons, she is a happy camper. She calls anything you write with a "color pen." After a few minutes of coloring, Maya found it amusing to dump the crayons out of the container. So much for coloring!!
Auntie Jen and Maya were playing very nicely, when all of a sudden out of the blue, a boy popped up from the middle of table. We had no clue that some child would crawl around the floor and pop through the table. It scared the two of them and then Maya looked at Auntie Jen and said, "Maya in hole."

The rest of the time Maya wanted to play with the trains from the hole.

Maya saw the water fountain and said, "Maya drink water." Not really sure how much she drank and how much drooled down her chin and onto her shirt!

The amazing gravel pit...scooping gravel, filling trucks and dumping them out is the routine.

"More scooping!"

When we got in the car to go home, Maya said, "more Auntie Jen." I told her next time we will go to the zoo.

Thanks Auntie Jen for an awesome morning!! She had a great time playing with you.
