Bumblebee and the little Bee

Bumblebee Transformer arrived at our local Children's Museum a couple of months ago and within days I had people emailing me and calling me "Did you hear what is at the museum?!"  It is no secret to anyone who knows Jax that he has been obsessed with Transformers for a couple of years now.  He's never seen (what he calls) "the real Transformers movies"- but loves the cartoons and at times has INSISTED that people call him Bumblebee instead of Jackson!

                                                 
                                  We were not disappointed!  He was massive and so cool!

  His arrival coincided with the "Famous Costumes" exhibit and since I rarely get to pick what I want to see, I made the kids go there with me first.  And I made them stay there until I had admired and read about every Star Wars costume and read every word by the Super Woman costume display!! It was really neat.  And they also had a little area for the kids to dress up and pretend to be actors.  The castle below was a curtain and could be pulled to the side to reveal other backdrops! Got to love our Children's Museum!!

Going to the museum with older kids has been such a treat this year.  I don't have to take diaper bags, hassle with bottles or nap times...heck I don't even take a stroller anymore.  It is soo relaxing and I never thought I'd say that about a trip to this Museum!!  We have a plus 2 pass and I just love to "kidnap" a friends' kid to come be our special guest for the day...Grant (or as Eliza calls him sometimes "Granty Grant" is always a  favorite pick with our fam.
