Curious George at McWane!

















One of our family's favorite places to visit is the McWane Science Center. I love that everything is hands on! It is one of the few places that you can go and not worry about your kiddos touching (or breaking!) something they should not! And ofcourse, the teacher in me loves to see all of the little faces of eager children light up at the discoveries they are unknowingly making about science. SOOO, imagine our excitement when we got the update from McWane that GEORGE THE MONKEY WAS COMING!! George is one of the few things Daniel and Caroline agree on!! We headed over to see the famous money himself after Caroline's nap yesterday. It was a cold, rainy day--perfect for an indoor hands on museum! They had a special room set up with activities in which we could participate while waiting for George. There was even a banana stand set up! Daniel had two!! Caroline enjoyed coloring and both of the kids loved hearing one the McWane workers read them a Curious George book. Finally, the monkey arrived! Caroline was so excited to sit on his lap. She kept saying, "George held me!" I think the visit to see Curious George was more exciting than the one to see Santa!!
