While Daddy spent the day working, Zoe and I headed to the New Children's Museum in San Diego. The museum wasn't very crowded at all so she got to really spend a lot of time at each exhibit. The museum is very hands-on and free thinking...here she got to make clouds.
And Zoe made macaroni art...it's supposed to be a portrait of Daddy.
There was shadow art too! Making a heart was an easy shape to make...
Mommy couldn't quite make the octopus she wanted but luckily this shark was a pre-made shadow puppet!
Zoe made a paratrooper out of some cardboard and a plastic bag and then shot it out of this cannon.
And there was home-made bubble solution and you could make wands using pipe cleaners - Zoe wrapped the pipe cleaner around the plastic piece and could make big, big bubbles!
There was also places just to play around in. There was this little box called a "Port-A-Party" that was decorated like an ipod. When you stepped into this box & closed the door, the lights went out, a disco ball lit up and loud music started to play - and it's your own private little dance party!! Here's Zoe looking up at the disco ball.
And here's some spastic dancing...

There was also this big pillow & mattress room where kids can play around...they could use the mattress as a slide
And a whole bunch of tire pillows...
And this is why Mommy doesn't let Zoe play with paint...all on her clothes, in her hair, on her arms and feet - she got a bath when we got back to the hotel.
We did almost all of the exhibits (I took only pictures of a few of the exhibits.) We spent several hours there and Zoe loved her day at the museum!
