EdVenture 2009

My mom wanted to take Delaney to EdVenture, the children's hands-on museum here in town, and Randy and I couldn't miss that one! That place is awesome!

***Before I get started on the EdVenture talk, let me just say that these are the last of the blurry pics. We put the crap-ola camera up on E-bay it sold! For only $3 less than Randy originally paid for it! The new camera is on its way and we should get it soon. It is the same kind I had, pre-dropping in pool incident, and it was a perfect and no-blur wonderful camera. I can't wait to take pictures again and not worry about their outcome!

One of the best parts of EdVenture is the grocery store. Delaney immediately headed to the meat department.


She grabbed the store's largest ham hock.

Blur and all, you can see the speed and determination in her eyes as she races around the grocery store.


The mini grocery carts were one of the favorites.

Delaney shows her Grammy the fire truck.

There was a really cool traveling exhibit at EdVenture of all these amazing butterflies. Delaney was a little nervous at first walking out into the courtyard with hundreds of butterflies fluttering all around.

Randy captured this awesome shot of a beautiful Monarch.

Delaney liked being in the driver's seat in the Volkswagen Beetle.

One of Delaney's favorite parts of EdVenture was the toddler room where they had this ramp she could go up and down. Yeah---forget the grocery store, fire truck, music exhibits, etc....this ramp was awesome. Four feet of pure bliss.

Delaney liked the moped in the Africa section.

Delaney was hilarious in the weather forecasting station. She enjoyed watching herself on the TV, and got a big kick out of placing the weather magnets on the SC map. She was actually quite brilliant doing this---we would say, "Put the rain on Swansea", and lo and behold---she would place that little cloud on Swansea. She was much more accurate than our local weathermen--that's for sure.

Delaney dances on the musical hopscotch at EdVenture. This is a great moment with Delaney---but even better moment of my mom dancing in the background.

Randy makes some tunes on the musical hopscotch

Watch out world---here comes Delaney and the bulldozer.

***That was our first trip to EdVenture, and I am sure there will be many more. I hate that I didn't get more pics---but I will the next time. We had so many fabulous moments that day---and Delaney was just on cloud nine. Her eyes were so big, and she just ran around that museum in pure delight. It was so beautiful to see---and exhausting. :)
