Last Saturday we decided we wanted to do something fun as a family. It was still VERY hot outside, so we opted for an indoor activity. I had heard of Boonshoft Museum before, but had never been there. We had a coupon for a free adult admission and Grant was already free, so we just had to pay for 1 adult and 1 child - score! The place is a mini-children's museum with lots of different themed areas for the kid's to play and explore and even a little zoo. Needless to say, we had a GREAT time and will definitely be back!

One of her favorites - the water table

Another one of her favorites (and Mommy's favorite!) - a climbing spiral rope ladder that took you to the 2nd floor. There was then a slide that you could slide back down to the 1st floor. Lots of fun!

Drew and the kids were inside this tent type thing that would inflate when you pushed a button to start the air flow. Then after a bit, the air would stop and it would slowly deflate. You could crawl in and out of it and there were little windows to peek inside. Jenna loved sitting in front of the air flow so that it would blow her hair.

There was a section where you could touch some sea life - like different starfish and crustaceans.

There was a tunnel under this display that you could crawl through and then there were a few of these bubble peep holes to stand up and look out through. It was cute to see Jenna's head poke up in the middle of the displays.

Another of Jenna's favorites was watching the otters. There were 3 of them in the tank and they just played and swam the whole time. They really were a lot of fun to watch!
