The WOW Childrens Museum

What a great find in Broomfield - the Wow Children's Museum!!  We headed there after our ice cream treats and of course all adults get in free so it was a "cheap" outing for Glenn and I.  I was thoroughly impressed with this place!  Lots of things for the kids to do and it wasn't overly crowded either so that made it nice!!
 
Rayna is pulling herself up on this contraption - I even tried it and easily got to the top!
 
All of the kids loved the musical instruments room and Parker showed us his skills on the piano!

Here's Gary and if you look closely, you'll see there's a film below the black round circle - that's because he's enclosing himself in a bubble - really cool!!!

One of the areas was dress up with mirrors around it and tap shoes to put on - Kylan looked cute as can be in his little Indiana Jones outfit and the girls loved dressing up and twirling around!

But I think the kids' favorite place was the "Whole Foods" grocery store!!  It was SO cute - there were green aprons for the kids to wear, a checkout stand with a scanner that even beeped, an old fashioned cash register with money in it, bags to put the food in and of course all the produce and food that you could "shop" for!!

Don't the little girls look cute scanning their purchases?

This was our best attempt at getting a picture of all the kids - and Rayna had already left by this time to grab a bite to eat with her dad before heading back to the volleyball tournament........

So all in all, even though the pumpkin patch didn't pan out, we all still enjoyed ourselves!!  Jaime's headed back to the tournament minus Kylan who went home with the Keppy's (and as a side note, Rayna's team WON the volleyball tournament - CONGRATULATIONS!!!) and Glenn and I followed Jill back up to Ft. Collins as we were spending the remainder of the weekend with them!!

So sorry about the Pumpkin Patch. I had a great time with the grandkids at theirs! But the children's museum looked like a great second option.

Believe it or not - your group picture turned out better than mine! Sigh. It was a great alternative to the pumpkin patch I must say!!
