If the Myth Busters exhibit comes to a museum near you-GO! We had a great time at the museum!
We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get our picture taken with the duct tape boat!
Thank goodness I had the Ergo Carrier! Here we all are at the start of the exhibit-the cool thing is they have the real props from the show!
Little Pumpkin with a paintball experiment - looks dangerous!
Little Pumpkin with all the show props
It was a great experience, the entire exhibit had an air of fun!
The Artist and I couldn't resist - We had to do Jamie's mustache just like Adam does!
Baby Girl is sleeping, oblivious to all the fun we are having!
This exhibit was one of my faves!
They had telephone booths and boxes of capes, masks, gloves, goggles, etc. for you to change into-like a superhero! Who wouldn't love doing this? My kids thought I was a geek! I looked for a pic of me dressed up buy sadly, there isn't one!
This was a live action show, they shot a paintball at a lucky contestant!
How long can you hang on a cliff?
The boys tried the Cliff Hanger-not as easy as they thought!
Baby girl finally woke up! What's all the excitement?
She slept, ate and looked around from the best seat in the house-her Ergo Baby Carrier!
Can The Artist pull the tablecloth out without pulling off the dishes?
Close!
Kids....Don't try this at home!
Kids, let dad show you how it's done!
Oh My!
Dad couldn't do it either, after many tries the challenge proved too much for any of us!
Who Got Wetter?
We went through this exhibit several times, who will get wetter the person who walks or runs in the rain? Who cares! This was fun and refreshing. Black lights and water are highly entertaining! The lady running the exhibit was worried baby girl would get wet, but I just pulled out the rain/sun cover and she was fine-nice and dry!
No one tried this one, trust me I would have put the pics here!
Little Pumpkin
Then we checked out the rest of the rest of the museum.
I don't know what it is about dinosaurs, but kids love them!
So with the arrival of Baby Girl comes the opportunity to nurse her and hold her. Unfortunately, sometimes I have other things to do besides nurse and hold Baby Girl. So I started looking for a carrier I can use that won't kill my back, is comfortable for Baby Girl and I can nurse in.
I have a Moby Wrap from Little Pumpkin, but I can't comfortably nurse with it-I know, some women can, but I was struggling.
I have a couple of other carriers-one is for older children and one is for infants-but Baby Girl doesn't care for it, it kills my back, and I can't nurse her in it.
I was able to discreetly nurse for this photo.
Then I found the Ergo....what a wonderful carrier! Fits all 3 of my needs and more! With the infant insert Ergo can carry a baby as small as 7 lbs. up to 15 lbs., then you take out the insert and you can carry up to a 45 lb. child. It is a bit pricey, but totally worth it! After I bought mine I checked ebay and found out they are WAY cheaper there! As low as $75 New In Box!!!
The shoulder straps are SUPER padded. The carrier material is really strong and durable. It comes with a hood, and it is super easy to modestly nurse-no one can tell when I am nursing! The Ergo comes in a variety of colors, I have an olive green one and a khaki colored one.
I bought 2-one for Baby Girl and one for Little Pumpkin.
I can carry Little Pumpkin on my back AND Baby Girl in front---oh my!
Little Pumpkin and Baby Girl both love it! I carried Baby Girl 3 hours while shipping last week-no problem, she ate, slept and smiled...then repeated! When we were done my mom asked if Baby Girl needed to eat, I told her she already did-twice! I told you no one can tell!
So go on over to ebay and buy one-they make a great shower gift too!
If you can't find what you want there check out all the choices at the Ergo website---SWOON!
