Sydni and I got an early start to our morning today. Well, early for a Saturday. We finally rolled out of bed around 8:15, took our time eating breakfast and getting ready, and loaded up for a day of exploration at the Magic House Children’s Museum in Kirkwood, just on the outskirts of St. Louis.
It was a costume day there [woops, on our part], so most of the day’s visitors were donning disguises from Disney movies, fairy tales, or comic books. I’m glad Sydni didn’t understand the difference between their attire and hers; had she, I probably would’ve just told her she was actually a real super-hero and normalcy was her costume for the day. Yenno, kinda like the toddler girl version of Clark
K. Well anyway, the entire staff was costumed, too, and were posted up all over the place ready to sign their character autographs in the little flip books we’d been given upon paid admission [10 bucks for both us of, thanks military discount ;) ].
She had a blast. I spent nearly 3 hours chasing after her as she bounced around from display to display, room to room, floor to floor. She played a 15-foot harp, stood inside a life-size bubble, bought an entire basket of pretend milk at the pretend grocery store, and answered every phone in the Morse code room. She wanted three autographs from Mickey Mouse, but screamed bloody murder at Jack Sparrow the pirate [not quite sure on that one]. She had a tea party with Alice
And, she was asleep before we got out of the parking lot when we left.
We came back to the house to finish up her naptime here, and then we worked a little bit on getting ready for Daddy to come home this week. We really wish he could’ve been there today with us, but I’m not even sure we covered the entire place, so I’m confident we’ll be going back.
Church tomorrow. I’m due to join the praise band before and during, and help with church directory photos after. I think it’s time to call it a night!
