Manitoba Children's Museum

One of the joys of being all smartphoned up is the joy of endlessly being inundated with information. Yes this is a curse, but it can also be a joy as Cara now sends me regular photographic evidence of her and the girls enjoying their days together. Recently they were at the newly renovated Manitoba Children's Museum and they had a hoot...

Here's what I was sent...

That is one crazy & psychedelic slide...

Margaret napped the entire time.

Playing at the water table.

Using their mess less finger painting table.

And it emails you the resulting modern art.

Apparently Margaret will wake up for trains.

Time To Catch Up (III) - Children's Museum

Recently we went to the Children's Museum at the Forks, as we had been meaning to go for the last little while, but we got a kick in the pants when we got a free admission coupon on a Lucky Charms box.  As an aside, don't buy your child cereals with marshmallows, as they will pick out the marshmallows and leave the bland cereal behind.

We went to the children's museum in Minneapolis last year and if I was forced to compare I would say that on a scale of Suck to Minneapolis, Winnipeg sadly rates closer to suck.  They have a nice train that Teresa enjoyed, a vacuum tube system and a slide...  Beyond that they had a region on infrastructure that was, at best, okay, a display on Asia and a fake TV studio that Teresa was too young to enjoy.  

Here are the photographic highlights...

Is that old Francey-Pants being the train's engineer?

Teresa really enjoyed playing with the cash register in the train's passenger car.

Hey look a slide!  I've never seen one of thee before...  I shouldn't be so bitter as she really did enjoy the museum.  She would rate it much closer to Minneapolis I think.

Dancing up a storm on camera.

That is my face on a pin board.  Did you know that your pectoral muscles really look like boobs on one of these things?

Shoulder Rides (and my hair cut).

Look, a sandbox!  What fun!
