Museos

We have had to be a little more creative to burn energy when its 100+ degrees outside. every. day.

We have made two recent trips to museums - the Austin Children's Museum and the New Braunfels Children's Museum. All said, I prefer the New Braunfels museum. Its on one level (opposed to 3 at ACM), has an outdoor water area, an art room that they leave open with projects, a space area, and an awesome grocery store with carts. L&H could spend hours in that grocery store.

The ACM has two rotating exhibits. One is a maker's (art) workshop which equals a bunch of scissors, saws and hole punches on the table. Granted they are tethered. But its still kind of scary with 2 under 3. The other rotating exhibit is (as far as I can tell) Mexico. One room has a hard plastic bed. In another area you can make tamales (which actually occupied quite a lot of time). I'm all for multiculturalism, but some of it is stuff they just look at. We need interaction. And lots of it.
