Back to some Summer Fun

In August, we checked out a new extension of the Children's Museum of Richmond in Short Pump. We met my Aunt Barbara there to check it out.

It was a fun miniature version of the big downtown museum. A few great things about it were 1) it was just all one big room, so I could sit in one place with Charlotte while she played and still felt like the big girls were in view and 2) the TRAIN! It was awesome and it ran every 30 mins in a small circle. You would have thought we were at Disney World the kids were so excited about it.They had great dress ups and puppets to play with, too. Saying Lucy was excited about the Spiderman costume would be a gross understatement. I think she was hyperventilating and shivering with excitement. To be honest, I have no idea where her recent Spiderman obsession came from. She also got new sunglasses this weekend and she chose Spiderman. There was no talking her out of them. They have spider webs on the lens. I'll need to take a picture, she looks hilarious in them.Charlotte loved sitting in the big throne chair (upper right). I think she feels like a big girl when she sits in a chair. It cracks me up.
