Bob The Builder

Last week, we finally made it to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum's "Bob the Builder" exhibit. WHAT FUN! Although there were like a million kids there between end-of-the-year field trips and it being the last week for Bob, Dylan was in his glory. I don't think he stood still for more than 3 minutes. He could climb into all the machines, fix water pipes, use Bob's tools, plant Wendy's garden, build buildings, load and dump the wheel barrow, and just plain run around! His favorite machine is Benny, the mini backhoe. Benny says, "That's unreal, banana peel!" in the cutest Australian accent. Dylan was saying that all morning and it was adorable!

Here we are sitting in Benny-




Dylan found this bumblebee costume and wore it for half of the morning. What a goof!
At the end of the morning, Dylan finally settled down and played in the kitchen for about 15 minutes. I think he was either hungry, or just plain worn out!

Bob is headed to the Indianapolis Children's Museum next... maybe we'll have to visit the VanderWoude's then head down to Cincinnati this summer! :)

FUN FUN FUN!! Dylan -- you pull off the Bee very well! Not many people can pull off the stripes like you :)

And head to Cincinnati? We think that's a FABULOUS idea :) We would LOVE to have you! Come on down!

Dylan - so glad you got to visit Bob before he left town! It looks like you had a great time. How cool would that be to visit Bob at another museum?
