Big Machine Week at Cosi

COSI, the children's science museum in town, has an awesome week each summer called Big Machine's week where they have construction trucks outside the museum for kids to explore.  Tons of different trucks/pieces of equipment are there and all are open for kids to check out.  They even have a couple of diggers in huge sandboxes that they allow kids to operate and actually scoop sand!  William was a little young to really explore the machinery, but I bet he would be amazed by it all in just a few years.  As it was, William definitely enjoyed the little bit he could climb on.  We also had Eliana's friend Adele for the morning, so the girls ran around pretending they were on their way to work at the construction site.  After a little bit of climbing in and on the big machines, we went inside for our usual fun at COSI.

They were also giving out construction hats.  The museum was a sea of yellow that day.

In the Little Kids Space, William sat on the cowboy saddle.

He liked his cowboy hat.

Water area for babies - a huge hit.  William was soaked!
