Children's Museum

Michael and his buddy Julius go way back. They've been buddies since mommy and me and swimming classes. Whenever Julius' name comes up, we're sure to have a day filled with quotes from the movie Twins, in a Schwarzenegger accent. Joey can't help himself. For safety reasons, I don't let Joey watch karate movies. But back to Michael and his buddy. We went on a play date to the Children's Museum in Oxnard and had a great time. The museum is for little ones with dress up play areas, cars, trains, and toys. At first, Michael was really calm and didn't dive in to the play centers the way Julius did. He was tired from only having a short morning nap, but he was still enjoying it. But once they opened the touch tank with star fish, Michael livened up. He informed the museum worker that the 50degree water was "hot, hot, hot". Michael was so excited when the nice man held out a starfish for him to touch. Although the boys were greatly enjoying the touch tank, we had to leave the exhibit when Michael and Julius broke out in a splashing frenzy. There was plenty other exhibits to visit. Along with the dress-up play areas, we checked out the animal section where Julius and Michael were very interested in the bunny, or "cat". Michael lets me know that all furry animals are cats. 

Michael loved this car. He did his little happy dance when standing in front of it to let me know he wanted in. 

Michael really loved the touch tank. While at different stations, he would break away from me and head right back over to the tank only to be disappointed that the top was back on and he couldn't get to the water.
