Children's Museum of Memphis

*Warning....you are about to be bombarded with pictures!* If you want a FUN quick trip for the kids, Memphis is the place to go. Between the Awesome Memphis zoo, and their super cool Children's Museum, you can't go wrong. (you just might want to wait until it cools off to go to the zoo!) We had wanted to go back to the zoo b/c we loved it so much last time, but decided it was just too hot! Memphis was just a bit out of the way for us coming home from Blytheville, so we planned to go through there on Sunday so we could go to the Children's Museum of Memphis. I had been hearing that it was really cool, and it was included with our family pass that we have through the museum in Little Rock. We got 4 family members in for free, so we only had to pay $9 for us to get in. It was so cool! Very interactive for the kids. (as long as you don't get grossed out by the kids trying on costumes that you know a million other kids have had on previously....I just couldn't think about it) They had a blast. Clay and I did just watching them! I took all these with my little mommy cam, man I love that thing.

This is a replica of the Mississippi River that they could float boats down, dams you could move around and change how your boats flowed....neat.
They had a heart replica, and then this was a human body with all the parts. Noah put that together so quick..while I was looking at the parts trying to figure out what they were. I asked him how he knew all that, and he said, well it is just like a puzzle.....DUH MOM!There were several other medical things.....and scrubs and doctor jackets for the kids to wear

This was Picassa's work station where they could draw self portraits.

Notice the above picture...how Noah is doing his teeth...then notice his drawing....he was trying to draw his teeth just the way they are all uneven.....cracked me up!



There was a stage, and all these dress up costumes, and they had music playing for the kids to sing and dance to.

She wanted to make sure I got her tail in this photo.....nice pose huh??
This was something to climb in. One boy got scared and couldn't come down. And the holes are so small, his dad couldn't get up there to get him. Finally the smallest person that works at the museum had to crawl up and get the poor kid.
They got to be dentists
Fireman with a real firetruck to climb on
Look at how his stripes glowed in this picture!

Policeman and a real police motorcyle and car
This was in a Curious George exhibit
There was a bank, where the kids had to go "write a check" to get cash to go shopping at.....
KROGER! This was so cool!

Leah hit the Seafood section heavy. She went way over her budget of $16.00

Then they got to check out at the cash register, and then it even printed them out a receipt

This was inside the Fed Ex plane. Can you imagine trying to learn how to operate all that??
