Austin Children's Museum

If you have a Children's Museum in your area I highly recommend putting a membership in your budget. We've had one to our local museum for 2 or 3 years now and I LOVE IT! It's about $130 and gets our whole family free into the Austin museum and a whole slew of other museums nationwide and a bunch of other stuff as well. Look at the pictures, and you'll see why this is such a great deal!

Right now, the theme is about transportation, they have varying themes and will be changing soon.

So Batman had a blast playing with a huge train set. The holes in the middle you can crawl under and pop up in the middle of the train set.


Princess is trying to move a bus to see the difference in how much energy it takes to move a bus or lots of cars. She just thought it fun to move the lever.


Superman is busy directing the buses or maybe the trains.


"Princess speaking, you want a bus at my house, okay!" So, that's not really what she said, but I can pretend just like she did.


Batman is busy putting gas in the bus, isn't it amazing how they think chores we find annoying are the coolest thing to do?


Superman and Princess being vets. The most popular animal: rabbit. Why, who knows?


Now that it's not bedtime, notice how well he's doing at going to bed? When it's really bedtime, does he act like that? NO.


I could overwhelm you with a lot more pictures, and I haven't even scratched the surface of all the great things to do. We finished off the museum trip with a quick picnic and stop in the park. Not too surprisingly I got a great nap out of them that day!


Pretend you see a really healthy drink there.
