EdVenture!

Yesterday, Blake, Logan and I went to Edventure for some fun. Logan absolutely loved it and Blake had fun too. We pretty much just stayed in the age-appropriate areas for Logan, but it was still fun.


Logan really liked looking at Eddie. Eddie has a dragonfly on his finger that Logan was dying to touch. You can sort of see it in the picture with Logan and me in front of Eddie. Blake took Logan through Eddie and in the picture at the top of the two of them, you can see Eddie's brain and the inside of his head. It sounds gross, but it is really neat. You can also crawl through Eddie into the different parts which is pretty cool.
Logan had a lot of fun in the "My Backyard" section of the museum. We were in there for over 30 minutes. Blake kept stacking up the blocks for Logan and Logan would knock them over.

There are two windows in this section overlooking Gervais St. and Logan stood there waving at all the cars as they drove by. He also enjoyed pulling and pushing the wheal barrow around.
Of course, we can't go anywhere without checking out all the books. Logan did sit for a few minutes and read. That didn't last too long though. There were way too many other distractions!

There is even a little mock-tugboat that Logan played in. He just likes to turn the steering wheel.

Another fun area was the construction area. Logan had fun making this piece of equipment go with me and he was waving "bye" to Blake.

Playing in the tent in My Backyard
This is the infant section, but Logan didn't seem to care. I have mentioned before that Logan likes to pile pillows up and climb and jump on them, so that is what he did with all the cusions in this section.
They even have a tractor that we got to climb on. That was lots of fun for Logi. He liked playing with the steering wheel again.
We even milked a cow!
The firetruck area was not Logan's favorite. There is a dressed up firefighter (fake) that scared Logan to death. He didn't even want to be in this area because it scared him so badly. He went into the truck with me for a little while, but he was definitely ready to go quickly!

The car was probably Logan's absolute favorite area. He climbed right into the passenger side and I put his seatbelt on for him. When I thought it was time to go I took the seatbelt off and Logan jerked it back from me and put it back on. Then, he looked up and said and waved, "bye."
Bubbloosa - the summertime exhibit.
Logan did not want help when it came to making bubbles. He was insistent on doing it himself which made an absolute mess. But, he enjoyed it!


Blake even had some bubbles he could play with. This is the human bubble he is making.
Then, we made our way over to the water section. That is where Logan got drenched. There was a fountain that you could control and some other children found it while Logan was standing there. So, Logi got soaked. He didn't seem to mind though. He just wanted to play in the water with the boats. He did try to drink the water out of the boat, but I caught him. How nasty!

There is also a huge slide-tower outside that Blake took Logan up. I hate heights, so it really scares me to see Logan up that high. Blake is so good with him though.
Finally, they made their way down the slide and Logan came and got his iced water and we headed home. What a fun EdVenture!!!

I wish we had a place like this, I guess our best bet is Mid-America Museum. Remember that old place?
