The Salmon Family: Betty Brinn

Back in February, it was Girl Scout cookie time. Maggie was her troop's top seller, and she was motivated by the possibility of earning a family pass to the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. She made (actually far surpassed!) her goal and we received our pass in the mail in early May. If you remember correctly, we also received a new baby in the house about the same time. So... with only a few days left of summer vacation, we packed up and headed to the museum with our pass for the first time this past week. The bigger girls have been here before- and LOVE it. Hattie got to experience the museum for the first time- and to be honest? I didn't think we'd get her to leave! I'm looking forward to taking her a few more times this fall when the big girls are in school. Here are a few fun pictures from our day!

Hattie was SERIOUS about the grocery store. Here she is, unloading her cart...

Waiting patiently with load #2...

Lucy the bus driver!

Hey- she picked up Gramma!

Hattie.... still shopping!

Lucy thought she was pretty cool on this motorcycle!

And....more shopping!

Unloading the cart... AGAIN!

This is one of many play phones in different areas of the museum. My mom and I noticed there was always a long line of kids waiting to play on the phones... and then realized most of them had never seen or used a wall mounted phone before!
