More Than Just Trains

Our first stop in Austin was to the Children's Museum. It was a quirky, old school type of place- indicative, I think, of the city itself. There were lots of nooks and tiny rooms to explore. Liam and Dash loved it. They were fantastic travelers that day so they deserved a treat.

They ESPECIALLY loved the big train table. Ohhh ho ho, they loved that train table.

I mean, look at it, it's the stuff one-year-old's dreams are made of.

After about 45 seconds of listening to story time, Liam found some more interesting fish shapes on the wall.

Then they found REAL fish!

They played on some musical frogs.

And they played me Happy Birthday on the pipes!

Then... back to the train table!

There were cars on the train table too, so that made it even better.

Then they tried out the giant Lite Brite (amongst my most favorite childhood toys. The normal sized kind, that is).

Then back to the train table!

  1. That was definitely Preston when we visited that Children's museum almost a year ago. It was all about the train table...it was the main reason I convinced Mike he NEEDED one of his own :-). Boys and their trains!
