Children's Museum

How can you make two women happy and still have a great time?

That's easy when they are young mothers, just take their children out for the day and give them a break. That is what I did yesterday. I picked up my 3 year old granddaughter, Grace, and took her to the DuPage Children's Museum in Naperville. I called my Daughter, Kathie and asked her to drop 4 year old Michael off and I would keep him busy and tire him out, while she got some rest. I had a fun filled day!

This activity kept Grace busy for 20 minutes. She would not quit until all caps were used.	3 year olds usually have a 3 minute attention span.

	Michael and Grace love to see each other, and they play well together.

We went to lunch at Browns Chicken, what did they want to eat? Hot Dogs!

When we took Grace home, Michael got to see his new (8 day old) cousin Audrey.

* The pictures that are dated 1-1-2004, were taken after I let Michael take a picture and he dropped the camera (On a carpet). The batteries fell out and the camera had a brain freeze. It is working fine now, after I programmed it.


When we got to Dan and Sabine's house, a package arrived from my sister Pat.	It contained a beautiful outfit for Audrey and some fun filled books for Grace.

Shortly after we left, Grace took long nap, and Michael fell asleep in the car as he listened to a Spike Jones CD. At the Museum, they ran up and down a set of 22 stairs about 15 times, while I rested in a comfortable chair.

These pictures were taken a year earlier, when Grace was 2 and Michael was 3. What a great place, I have a grandparents membership that I have to renew this month.
