Fun Friday

So the fun of the week...drumroll.....Explorations V Children's Museum in Lakeland. Little Explorers of Kissimmee (the best mommy group out there ;)) planned an outing over there. Admission was only 5.00 for adults and kiddos under 2 are free. One of the coolest places I've been. There are 3 floors of fun, the first floor was made up of a town. Police Car, fire engine, water cycle table, doctors office, space shuttle, airplane, Bank, tv studio and a mini publix! Everything is touchable, and welcomes little hands to explore. The kids had a great time discovering each different station and the moms had a great time watching the delight on their faces!

The top floor is geared toward older ages and some really cool science experiments for them to try out! Also, there is a puppet stage with lighting effects and all. Needless to say our kiddos were a bit to young for this floor, but look forward to trying it out in the future!

The bottom floor is an orange grove and juice plant. There are "oranges" aka orange balls on trees the kids can pick, sort in chutes (one goes to the juice factory, one goes to a  fruit stand and the other to a house) The chute to the factory is up on a platform, they roll the oranges down and sort them and juice them. It will be a cool learning process later, but for now they had fun knocking all the oranges off the trees, going up the tree platform and coming down the slide. A few of them enjoyed the sorting and "juicing" station, but Caitlin just like to play!!

All in all, it was a great trip that all of us moms enjoyed and look forward to visiting again. If you live in Kissimmee, and havent heard of it, check it out. I havent found anything like it here (other than the science center) for the price!!!
I hope you all enjoyed the first week of the new blog! I have loved writing it and look forward to many more fun weeks!!! Have a fantastic weekend!
