The kids and I drove up to Sausalito on Thursday to visit the Discovery Museum, but more importantly to visit with my cousin, Kate, who was in San Francisco for a family vacation. Kate lives in Madison, WI and is married with a darling 18 month old, Gabriel. The last time I saw her, she was in high school. So, we were overdue for a visit.
Gabriela was too tall to go in the Tot Spot. So she used her mad building skills to construct a house with the outdoor blocks.
See how cute little Gabe is??
Gabriela pretended to be the mail carrier in the Clifford the Big Red Dog exhibit. She wore the mail bag and collected all the letters. She was really excited about the blue mail box, since we sometimes drop our mail in a box just like this. Gabriela really enjoyed herself in this area.
It was a beautiful day, so the kids spent a lot of time playing outside at the museum. Gabriela climbed up and down this little crow's nest and the big boat.
The kids both really had a thing for the brooms. Gabe pretended his was a vacuum.
Just look at this proud mama with her darling little boy! Gabe was so friendly and gave me bunches of hugs. Easton and Gabriela too. We are so happy we got to meet each other's families.
There they go with the brooms!
The outdoor area is really cool. In addition to the boats to climb and play on, there is a boat sand box, a gravel pit to dig in, trucks to play with, and this outdoor hut/maze contraption. Gabriela made some friends and played tag with the kids.
And then there were some nests. We played in the wave room and the fishing/docks/trains room too, but didn't even touch the art room which is usually one of Gabriela's favorites.
We had such a good time, I bought a membership - they were also having a super special. I am so glad that Kate and John took time out of their vacation to spend with us. It was wonderful meeting Kate's family, catching up a little, and watching our kids play together.
