Ah-maaa-zeum

You can touch and walk through a tornado.

 This summer the Amazeum, a children's museum in Bentonville, opened.  We hadn't been yet...I thought it would be crazy all summer.  But on Labor Day weekend, I got to take Mary Ella for the first time for Ryder's birthday party.  Boy, was it amazing!  She loved it!  I think we were there for 3 1/2 hours, and she still didn't want to leave.

They have a whole water room I wasn't prepared for.  She is wearing a dress because we went straight from church to lunch and the party.  Next time I will know to bring an extra pair of clothes to change into.  It's almost like a little water park inside.

Singing happy birthday to Ryder with hand puppets.

Can you say love?

I think his favorite thing was moving these foam blocks.  I sent them down a conveyer belt over and over for him to punch and kick them with a shoe and boxing glove on a pulley system.  ME's favorite thing was the cave.  It's cold and you get to take in a flashlight and look for bats and crystals.  There are also sounds.  Rhett wasn't a fan. ;)

 Last week Rhett got his first turn at the Amazeum.  He almost lost his mind!  We were there for another 3 1/2...only to leave because we had to pick up sister from school.  And this time, I had a plan for the water room.  I told him we would save it for last, and then he could get as wet as he wanted.  And he did.  And then we changed into dry clothes. :)  We will definitely be getting a membership and frequent often. 

We met Jase and Easton there.  Rhett was not the best sharer in the Wal-Mart checker area.

Obviously a big Wal-Mart influence, with it being in Bentonville
