When you can't go to the zoo, or parks, or play in the backyard it is great to have a local children's museum to go to. You all know that the girls and I frequent the Madison Children's Museum so seeing what other areas have to offer is always a treat. We are in Bloomington, IL this weekend and there is a great children's museum in that town. The Children's Discovery Museum has a ton of activities, games, stations and play opportunties for both of the girls. We painted, climbed, ran, dressed up, built, shopped in a farmer's market, played music, milked cows, drove tractors, and much more. Unfortunately most of the "green" activities are a bit advanced for the girls but I think it is great they have activities and exhibits for kids of so many ages.
Here are some of the green features and some shots of the girls from today's visit!
Inside the Rubbish tunnel was too dark for pictures. But it is basically an inside look at a landfill. Lots of facts, old things to look at, things to touch and explore; pretty amazing!
It was a great way to spend a rainy morning!

This looks like an AMAZING children's museum. I think we will be driving near there on our road trip this summer. I'll have to add it to our list of places to check out!
