The Start Of Our Vacation...

We were headed to Utah for a two weeks vacation BUT, had to stop in Las Vegas for Boomer to meet with some accounts for an afternoon of golf. SO, the kids and I had to find something to do...I did a little researching and found a Children's Museum. We dropped Boomer off and went and checked it out....it was amazing. The kids loved it, we were there for probably 4-5 hours and the kids were bummed when we had to leave. So, if you are ever in Vegas I would definitely check it out.

The funniest thing about the exhibit that week was the "GROSSOLOGY" exhibit. It is a show on Kids Discovery channel, there exhibit consist of, "WHY DO WE BELCH", a "SKIN" rock wall, "WHY DO WE HAVE SNOT" and the last BUT not least "WHY DO WE TOOT, TOOT"....I have pictures to prove this all to you!!




WHY WE BELCH, for knowledge on the subject click on the picture to read the sign...


The visual of WHY WE BLECH...yes, such amazing sounds coming from this gentleman....


The "SKIN" rock wall


This was Jos's favorite, the big faucet man told a story about why we have SNOT. Jos kept pushing the button and would YELL, "HERE COMES THE SNOT", with a giggle. AGAIN MOM, AGAIN!! FUN TIMES.


The bigger SNOT drop


BUT this is the kids favorite...the "TOOT, TOOT" machine. You must click on the picture so you can read and have a better knowledge of "TOOTING"( it is pretty funny). The red pipes you see are the visual affect of "TOOTING". The size of the pipe affects the sound and the amount of vibration that might come from ones "TOOT"....the girls were laughing so hard there were actually tears coming down their face. You could put your hand over the pipe and feel the vibration...YES, I know you are all jealous. :) (PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS ON A REAL PERSON) :)



Then off to grocery shopping, they had a mini "SMITH'S", which the girls were so excited about (get it our last name..SMITH..) ..they were able to shop and check each other out....






Luke and the fish were going crossed eyed together :)


Luke enjoying the merchandise:)


And off to the garage..the girls got a paper that told them what to fix...and when they were done they got a pay check...$10 bucks :)




Jos getting into it with the muffler..she was not afraid to get under the car..you would have been so proud FRED!!


This was my favorite..it was a human bubble. You stood in the center of the circle and then with a pully you dropped a metal ring around you into some bubbles and then let go and the hoop would go up in casing you in bubbles..I was so bummed I couldn't get a picture before it popped..BUT SO FUN!!!


the airplane..there was a bagging area that you put some luggage on and went through security..the girls loved being the security guard...


Jos loved the water area...it had little water falls and rubber ducks.....


Rylee and Jos loved this a STAGE with lots and lots of dress up clothes. Morgan pulled the curtains and the girls played Princesses...there was a ballroom floor in front of the stage to dance on...then some bleachers for the parents to seat on and watch.....


Cinderella :)


You had to pull up your own weight...


The girls are still mad at me for making them try this...it is a booth that you can experience a hurricane..the wind gust is up to 60 MPH...they didn't like it at all....OOPPSS!!


This was Morgan's favorite....she would have done this all day. It was a radio station with a DJ and you pretended to sing on air..she choose a Hannah Montana song and did a great job. The whole 2nd floor can hear you sing. She had a blast being in the light and singing :)

a little muppet show....


and even a little spot for Luke, he was glad to get out of my arms and the stroller and play ;)
