Oak Lawn Children's Museum

On February 2nd, Todd talked us into driving around Oak Lawn to see if we would like to buy a house there. We stopped off at the teeniest tiniest Children's Museum after driving through the neighborhood. While it may be small, the kids had a lot of fun.




They made paper kites, and then the volunteers hung up the kites on this contraption that then flies the kite around the room. The lights were shaped like clouds, which we thought was really cute.
















Max loved the water table. Here he is gathering up all the sharks.





The giant Legos and Lincoln Logs were a huge hit also.














Todd has always considered himself a very involved dad.










We loved the little bridge that overlooks the semi-frozen river with ducks swimming around in it. If you look closely, you'll see Max giving me a wink.

i love the picture of todd yawning.
the whole thing sounded like something johannes would do; pick an activity to drag the family to then be distracted and i get stuck doing all the "fun" stuff.

I received two emails from the folks at this children's museum. This is from the Executive Director.

April,

I came across your blog and wanted to thank you for sharing your experience with others. We are the smallest Children's Museum in the Association of Children's Museums membership and, quite likely, the smallest children's museum in the country at just 900 square foot of play space. I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your visit with us.

Sincerely,

Adam Woodworth

This was the other email I recieved.

Hi April,

Just saw your blog. I’m the president of the board of the Children’s Museum and it’s so nice to know that you had a great time. We will be moving into our new and bigger museum by the end of 2008. Wait until you see that one!!!

Thanks again,
Cathy Cepican
