The Junior Museum and Park Play

It's hot... and for some reason the city designers decided that most parks in Panama City should not have trees so there are only a few playgrounds that we can visit this time of year. It sort of a bummer because they really do enjoy playing outside and I like for them to play outside, but not when it's 90 and 100% humidity. That's miserable. Thankfully, we have one park that is fantastic and is completely shaded and the sides are pretty enclosed so I don't have to worry about Carter falling off. We met Magan there one morning and the kids played and played. We brought picnic lunches and had a wonderful time.

Another morning we met our friend Laurie and her two daughters, Evan and Elliot, at the Junior Museum. We've been there before and haven't been too impressed so I didn't think we would stay that long. But this day the girls were having so much fun as was Carter and we ended up getting there at 10 and staying until 1:30!!! We ate lunch, played inside, walked the nature trail, and Laurie and I even got massages! They were doing a special for museum workers and asked if we wanted to participate. It was fantastic.

Want to know what he's looking at...

These things... creepy crawlies and snakes.  Ewwww!  He on the other hand loved them.

This area is blacklighted and they throw marbles down the funnel.  Hours of fun.

They have a boat (that you can turn on and it makes noise) for "fishing" in St. Andrew's Bay.

I wish I knew what he was thinking here.
