Happy Birthday Gwynn!

We’ll celebrate Gwynn’s birthday on Sunday, but thought it would be nice to let her have a little fun on her actual birthday too so we  got her a doughnut.

After some initial hesitance she decided it looked good.

“For me?”

“Mmm, diabetes!”

Mommy broke up the doughnut into smaller pieces that Gwynn could eat.

It made for a much bigger mess when she took each piece and threw it on the ground. She did eat some doughnut though.

On to the McWane Center!

We started in the little kid’s section with a water station. Gwynn thought she was getting a bath I think.

Gwynn was hesitant to go into the forced perspective room. She could tell it wasn’t right. I don’t think she’ll be an M.C. Escher fan.

McWane needs a room with nothing but buttons for kids like Gwynn.

The light up floor was reminiscent of something from Studio 54. Gwynn was not a fan.

Daddy punctured his kidney due to the extra weight. Notice the sign on the wall clearing saying “1 person at a time”. Rules are for squares.

A confusing station where you put objects on a large turntable. We made it halfway to the next floor before we realized she still had this ball.

Anything that involves putting things in or pulling them out is right up Gwynn’s alley.

These interactive video walls are fun, although this one didn’t seem to work too well.

Putting coins in a coin slot is something pirates do apparently.

“That was lame, where’s the bungee jumping area?”

This was Gwynn’s favorite area.

They had two dozen flowers planted and she took out every. single. one.

“Whoops, missed a few.”

DSC_7166

“If you’re trying to clean the place up, don’t bother.”

Working on that upper body strength.

That seems like an awfully oversized opening.

Daddy would hold out his hand and collect the rocks and then drop them on the heads of the kids’ shadows.

Daddy channels Han Solo.

Grammy channels the bad guy from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”

Now that we know The McWane Center has things that Gwynn enjoys…we can’t wait to go back!
