Can we fix it?

Imagine It! Children's Museum of Atlanta
Can we fix it? Yes, we can!

When we were down in Atlanta for the Thanksgiving weekend Chief, G'Pa, and I were able to check out the Children's Museum of Atlanta. They were sporting a Bob the Builder Exhibit so we just had to check that out! If it involves tool, machines, building, or (de)construction we Yeagers will be there. I don't know if this was the same Bob exhibit that we had here at our children's museum, but it was very similar if it wasn't. I'm not sure if most of these exhibits are like many traveling museum exhibits or not. It was fun, so I don't suppose it matters, but I think I might look into that just to sate my curiosity.

As you can see, we were one of the only groups there that day. By Atlanta standards I think the weather was too cold and too windy. And it was cold and windy! I didn't think it would be like that down there. It was nice to be able to explore the facility with out having to push our way up to activities, though. It really is a nice set up. One large room with different stations to explore, cafeteria style tables to eat at, and a gift shop.

I asked him to jump on Scoop "just like Bob"

I had no idea that moon sand was SO fun! We molded and shaped for quite awhile. I am tempted to buy some for home, but I lack the 10 foot table and janitorail staff to help with containment and clean up.

This water station was cool. It was a water fall design with little pools. It was filled with little "fish" and had fishing poles easily accessible. My only complaint was that instead of aprons they provided rain coats. Most had buttons missing so the child got wet! We ended up purchasing a shirt form the lovely gift shop so he wouldn't be totally soaked when we went to lunch. We would have bought pants if they had those, too!

I'm really glad we decided to go to this musuem. We will absolutley go again when we get back to Atlanta. Fun, fun, fun!

FYI- Moon sand is really hard to get out of carpet.

What a great museum. I'd say it's as good as ours from the pictures. Your moon sand comment is funny. We had some once, but it "disappeared." I wasn't really ready for that level of mess.

Looks like a blast! I hope Bob comes to the Columbus some time. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
