Rhett Day

Yesterday, John and I decided it was a "Rhett" day. John has just finished his out of town training and we wanted to do something specifically for Rhett. We started the day visiting Grandpa David and Grandma Lori. We then went to Leid Discovery Children's Museum.

We started out in Berenstain Bear area. I don't think Rhett got into it very much as Berenstain Bears, but he had fun playing peak-a-boo out of the cave.


He also enjoyed "dress up" of the "what I want to be when I grow up" room.


We moved on to the 5 and under room and Rhett had a lot of fun in there... complete with foam shapes that he enjoyed throwing to me and building blocks made of wood twigs. He enjoyed playing with the snake and standing on a perch like an owl. Additionally, there was a puppet theater that Rhett enjoyed.



BUBBLES BUBBLES BUBBLES!

If anyone knows Rhett, if you start blowing bubbles for him, you'll have his attention for hours and you'll need some great luck to stop blowing bubbles without a meltdown from him! He is simply obsessed, which made this area probably his favorite place of the whole museum.

We started by being engulfed in a giant bubble.


There was a bubble sheet that you could create and blow at to watch the sheet expand or, in most cases, POP.


John and Rhett enjoyed the soappy dish area. John realized how hard it was to get giant bubbles from a giant ring. He could never get it over him before it popped.


He was much more successful putting the bubbles over Rhett with a smaller ring! I even caught John's expression as the bubble popped in his face!

The working in charge of the bubble area came over and started making giant bubbles for Rhett to pop. He enjoyed it profusely.

This contraption was made to pull yourself up as you sit on the bench, but Rhett enjoyed getting pulled up and then the slow ride back down. It was a mini elevator!

Rhett really enjoyed the museum. We have some videos to add on this post as we get the software on our computer to upload our videos from our camcorder.
