Playseum

We did decided to go on a little adventure with our Brayden (and his mom Julie) up to the Playseum in Bethesda, MD. It turned out to be a great little adventure and one that I'm sure we will end up doing again. There weren't too many people there (aside from a school group that we kept our distance from!?) so the kids were really able to spread out and enjoy each of the rooms. We spent a good 2 hours there and I think Kylee and Brayden could have stayed there for another 2 hours but Ryland was starting to get hungry and tired so we headed out. All three of the kids really seemed to have a great time!

We went shopping at Safeway! Be sure to check out the mini freezers that are there to hold the frozen and cold items!

The "outdoor" area was a big hit too. Kylee and Brayden spent a while "fishing" for letters while Ryland just liked standing and jumping around on the bridge.

Then we went to the Eye Doctor's office. There was some eye stuff there but also a lot of things you would find in the waiting room.

There was even a Domino's Pizza where the kids could make their own pizza (with felt pieces) and put it in the oven (which had a heating lamp in it to make it feel warm!). Kylee and Ryland enjoyed taking the orders with the phone and computers so luckily Brayden and Julie didn't mind working in the kitchen. : )

The music stage was a big hit too. Ryland was just enjoying all the noise he could make without anybody stopping him. When he found out he could stand and hit the drums with the drumstick he was in heaven!

One of Kylee's favorite things was in the Construction Room. There was a bucket that was connected to a pulley. You could fill it with "bricks" and than raise and lower the bucket.

The fire truck was a popular place for everyone. Ryland kept wandering over to the room only to find that it was alway filled with kids we didn't know. When he finally saw it empty, he was all excited to get behind the wheel.

We also went into the Pet Store (which had real animals!) and into the Bakery. Kylee and Brayden got to make their own mud pies. There is also a picture here of Ryland going through a tunnel connecting the Construction Room to the Fire Station. This was where he kept going to see if the fire truck was available or not. : )

We had a great time and can't wait to go back. We didn't even make it to the Art Studio this time and some of the rooms (like the Dentist Office) were crowded so we weren't there too long so there is still more for us to explore there! : )
