Children's Museum of Houston

Everything was so neat to look at!

Hello, folks!  Well, it's been a busy month and a half for me.  Had lots of family events two college graduations, a wedding, Mother's Day, husband out of the country and a nasty cold virus that swept through the house.  But, I am back!
Summer snuck-up on me, how about you?  But I don't mind, I really love summer...even when I am sweating up a storm and complaining about my electricity bill.

Collection of toy pedal cars.  My kids had a great time looking at all the different styles.

A few months ago (when it was much cooler), we gave the Children's Museum of Houston a try for the first time.  I got a pretty good deal for our family of six through Groupon.  They seem to rotate a deal every few months or so, so I would check them out if you have time to plan a visit.  I always try to find deals we can use because with four kids stuff can add-up fast....real fast.  I also noticed on the museum's website they offer discounts and FREE (my favorite word) days!  So, definitely check that out HERE!
We decided to go on a Sunday morning since we figured perhaps it would be a little less crowded with most people going to church, but it seemed that this place is so popular that there is always people going to enjoy the place.  If you have time to plan your visit you can call and ask when their less busy times are.  The staff was very helpful and did their best with the crowds that day.  There are all kinds of exhibits and things to do like: science, pretend play, exercise and even water activities outside.  There is seriously a lot of stuff for all ages!  The kids started to get tired and hungry (ok, my husband and I did, too), so we left after a couple of hours and went to visit a food truck before we headed home.  We missed the toddler area, which I was kinda sad about, but I know we will be back!

Huge dude made of phones!
