Children's Museum

I took the girls to the Austin Children's Museum for the 2nd time expecting to see the same thing but instead, I was surprised to see most of the exhibits changed. This truly motivates me to come back. I especially liked the exhibit In My Family. The exhibit was completely inspired by one of my favorite books, Family pictures. I think this exhibit was the girls' favorite too. There was Tejano music in the background for dancing, instruments and the cutest set ups for making tamales, tortillas, and traditional Mexican food. If you ever make it with your kids to this museum check out this exhibit and experience a little bit of south texan culture--through a child's eyes anyway. It really did have that feeling when I entered it. And as it turns out, it is a permanent exhibit that I missed previously because it was touring other Children's Museums. Oh and I love how not only this exhibit but all the other exhibits in the museum have all the literacy for each exhibit in English and Spanish. It gives me the chance to brush up on my technical Spanish.
