Children's Discovery Museum

Mommy took me to the coolest place today. We went to the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. I had sooooo much fun. I especially liked the levitating balls in air AND water. We spent a lot of time upstairs in The Wonder Cabinet where I got to build with huge blocks, experiment with sand, paint, and play with putty. There were some cool ball mazes and funnel as well as a dress-up area, a reading tree, and a special area for babies and crawlers. There was a pretend Pizza Parlor & Market where I got to work the cash register and answer the phone. There was also lots of amazing vehicles like a fire truck, ambulance, stagecoach, and antique car that you could climb in and explore. I got completely soaked in the Water Ways area. Check out the videos below to see exactly how this was accomplished. There were arts & crafts areas throughout the museum. I got to make a tissue paper parachute which we put over the ball blower. It flew up really high. 3+ hours later, I still didn't want to leave, but it was way passed my naptime. Mommy had to carry me away kicking and screaming, but I fell asleep in the car within minutes. When we got home, I continued sleeping for two more hours.
