Then, it was on to the fishing pond where he put into practice all those skills Papaw's been teaching him!
You could crawl under the waterfall and peep up through the pond! How fun!
There was a tree house that you could climb in and then slide down. Daddy had to help Parker maneuver through this one. When it came to some of the tunnels, Daddy said he "wasn't as little as he used to be."
Who doesn't love digging in sand?! And this was "moon sand." You could pack it, sculpt it, and it didn't stick to your hands! (It is also non-toxic, I learned...since Parker ate a little.)
Making his Granmamma proud! Cultivating a garden.
This exhibit was really for "big kids" but Parker stayed here the longest! It was like a giant Kinex set where you could put PVC pipe together and make things. Joshua and I watched in awe as Parker figured it out by himself and actually used all the pieces to make the pipes connect. The other kids just ran by this exhibit and Parker played for 30 minutes! Engineer maybe?!
The "Fundamentally Food" exhibit was like a kiddie size Farmer's Market. Parker loaded up his cart with various fruits, some vegetable oil, an eggplant and some Peanut Butter (which is funny since he's never had any!) And then he took off! He LOVED pushing the cart around.
They had a cool exhibit where you could put balls into different locations and move them with pulleys or watch them roll down a chute. Parker didn't seem to care where they went...he just wanted to get the balls!

After a fun morning of play and a yummy lunch...we were all pretty tired!
*Notice the new Elmo doll Parker scored from the Museum gift shop. He saw it on the way out and starting yelling "Bell bow! Bell Bow please!" So, Daddy (big softie) caved in and bought the ridiculously expensive thing...but he said it was worth it when Parker gave him a hug, looked at him and said "Tane too Da Da." (which is Parker for Thank you, Daddy!)
