Children's Museum

I took Ethan to the Naperville Children's Museum this weekend and we met a few of my co-workers and their kids. It ended up being a yucky, rainy day, so it was a nice place to get out without being in the elements. We met right when it opened, which was definitely a good idea because about an hour later it was crammed with people! So, we at least got to see a lot of the exhibits without crawling through many other people and their little ones. Ethan wasn't quite sure what to make of it at first, but I just let him walk around and look at his own pace.
We first went to the music room and he was good at pounding on the drum items. After testing out the sounds, he then took on his daddy's engineering skills and testing fitting the rubber mallet into the different holes of the musical instruments.


Next exciting exhibit was the HUGE pinball machine.
On to building with some pvc piping with friend Max (5 weeks younger than Ethan)
Then, the water table...most of the kids wore water-proof smocks, but Ethan was too sophisticated for those. :)
On our way out...

We just went there and loved it, but you are right when you say it is a busy place.
