Oak Lawn Children's Museum

This week I started my new job, so last Thursday, Alexis and I had one last outing before work started up again. We went to the Oak Lawn Children's Museum, and she had a blast! The last time we were here, they were just building the exhibits, and we got a little tour of the museum-to-be after we made our ceramic tile to put on the wall. The museum has come a long way since that day. Here is Alexis playing with the water exhibit...

Her absolute favorite part was the art section... she loved painting the window and spraying it with water to clean it off again. She would have stayed in here all day if I didn't drag her on to visit the rest of the exhibits!

We were lucky enough to be there when the museum employees were preparing a canvas to hang on the wall... they picked several kids and let each kid paint one section of the canvas. Alexis got to go first, and you can see her masterpiece below. Next time we go, we will get to see the painting hanging up in the museum!

Here is the tile that we made last year with Alexis' hand and Dave's foot... now it is hanging on the wall with a bunch of other tiles from other families!

Dr. Alexis zapping the bear...

Milking the cow...

At the market... Daddy's girl, headed for the steaks first.

Alexis did a lot of shopping!

Playing in the sand area...

My favorite part... the wind tube... so funny to see her try to catch the scarves!

Totally unrelated to the museum, but here is our new floor! We had a plumbing leak a few weeks back that caused our laminate floor to warp, so thank you State Farm, we now have a brand new floor! Sooooo much nicer than the old one!
