Museum of Science Holiday Party

Each year the owners of Kurt's company are very generous and throw a fabulous holiday party at the Museum of Science for all of their employees. It is a very family friendly outing and we were so excited to be able to bring Maddie & Aidan this year. The company secures tickets for everyone to the exhibits of your choice and they have a room available to us all day where they provide breakfast, lunch and dessert.

We started off with the butterfly garden and Aidan was thrilled with the butterflies that landed on him. We only stayed there for a few minutes because the environment necessary for the butterflies was VERY MUGGY for us humans. Then onto the "Science of the playground" where M&A rode the swings and just enjoyed running from station to station. A few attempted escapes were averted thankfully!

Lunch time was a bit chaotic as they had trouble locating the high chairs we had pre-requested and M&A were not in the mood for a delayed lunch. Once we settled them down, they ate like champs. Of course being out in public is no deterrent for them as far as their lovely food flinging habbit (which we are working dilligently to break them of). A bit embarassing for Mom & Dad unfortunately, but I guess it goes with the territory.

After lunch we tried out the Planetarium, hoping the twins would snooze a bit while we enjoyed the show. No such luck! We made a quick escape after one too many outbursts from Maddie. But then we found the discovery zone which is geared towards kids their age and all bets were off. They ran around (in opposite directions of course) having a blast.

Here are some photos of our adventure:


Thanks IPT! We had a fabulous time and are really looking forward to next year!
