A Day at Early Works

Gavin had his first trip to Early Works, Huntsville's local childrens museum, and I think this expression on his face says it all.

He spent a few minutes playing in Biscuit's Backyard, but I guess climbing things just isn't as fun when it's all foam and there's no chance of getting hurt...

Because after a few minutes, he was ready to go. The fishing "pond" caught his eye on the way in, and he was ready to play!

Surprisingly (at least it was to me), he was really focused on fishing. It caught his attention and held it! He didn't like using the fishing pole, but he was quick at grabbing them with his hands. Even though the pool was full of many different colors, shapes, and sizes of fish, Gavin selected the familiar rubber duckies. He collected them, one by one, and put them in a pile on the floor. I put them back in, showed him some of the other objects, and he went right back to collecting rubber duckies!

After 30 mins of fishing, Daddy (not Gavin), was loosing interest, so we decided to move on. After several trips back across the museum to the fish pond, Gavin finally found another fun activity in the "work zone," which has giant legos, tinker toys, and some other fun building materials.

Before leaving the museum, Gavin tried to sneak off with Raggady Andy's hat. If it was up to him, I think we would have stayed until closing!
