On Saturday we met Blanden's friend Gavin and his parents for pizza at Proto's, then headed to the Denver Children's Museum for an afternoon full of fun. We last visited the museum in November 2008, when Blanden was just five months old. We posted then about that night. As a little reminder, this was the extent of what he could enjoy: lying on a pretend lily pad while looking around at all the bugs in the pretend pond. :) Here he is back then.
And here he is now. :) There was certainly no lying around this time!
Crawling through a log tunnel.
Even at the museum, Blanden found a cozy corner in which to curl up and read -- always a favorite activity.
Heading down the slide -- a very fast one! Blanden would just crack up when he landed, then race around and climb up the steps to do it again.
Making noise on a washboard together...
And making each other (and themselves) laugh.
This was a favorite. The boys spent a long time playing in an old-fashioned log cabin complete with kitchen equipment. They had a blast pulling out all the pots and pans, setting the table, putting the pans back on the stove and in the oven and sink -- and, of course, mixing.
The little chefs hard at work. Hmm...what should we make?
According to Gavin's parents, he loves to pretend to cook at home as much as Blanden does. One of Blanden's favorite toys in his school classroom is the mini kitchen. He's a big fan of the frying pan -- perhaps so he can learn to make omelettes like his dad does for him on many mornings. 
Peeking out of the old-fashioned general store window.
And back on the slide. After two solid hours of play, it was time to head home. But we'll be sure to do it again sometime soon. The boys had a blast!
