After discovering that I only bought tickets for the kids and not the adults (please don't ask me why I assumed the adults wouldn't need tickets), I dashed to the automated ticket buying stations to get tickets for us chaperones too. WHEW. Thank God for my carte bleue and no line!
So! The kids were very patient and waited for our entry time in front of this crazy octopus:
This was 4 of the 6 kids. We also had Geo and Oliver in the mix! We had an entry time because you have only a limited amount of time in the museum, an hour in a half. I mean, really. An indoor kids space in Paris? THERE DEFINITELY needs to be a time limit on that or we'd bring our sleeping bags in and just STAY there.
First up, was the construction zone where they wore hard hats, vests, and did important city works with styrofoam blocks of bricks.
Here's Michael working with Elise and Karstyn on the rolling ramp:
And Michael rolling his cart around with no head protection:
Then, we made it to the water exhibit. We stripped the kids of their shirts and put them in their "protective water aprons." However, we neglected to remove their pants and by the end of the session, they were soaked. Here's a picture of as many of the kids as we could get in one picture:
They had this cool in ground lazy river. You could put these shapes (on the floor on the right side of the picture) in to that hole that Jonah's got his arm in. And it would float around and you could grab it back out that hole. Pretty cool:
And here's a picture of Geo, Michael and Karstyn at one of the stations!
Thanks go out to Katie for taking these great pictures! We had a wonderful time with our playgroup. We are SO SO SO very blessed to have these great friends with great kids. Michael asks about his friends all the time.Next excursion that I have in the works...is a cooking atelier! They have a cooking class for kids and their moms that I found out about!
