Children's Museum and Swimming

A couple of weekends ago Justin and I took the kids to the Children's Museum downtown. We had gone to the one that use to be at The Woodlands Mall and loved it so I figured this one would be similar. Yeah, not so much. I think it is great for older kids but there wasn't a lot for the younger kids. Kate and Brody played in a couple of stations but they didn't have as much fun stuff as The Woodlands had. It is definitely something we will take them back to when they are older as it has a lot of learning exhibits. One good thing is if you are Bank Of America card holders the first weekend of every month is free, so we only had to pay for the kids.
Brody got moved up into the Tadpole group at swim lessons which makes me very happy as I don't have to get in the water with him anymore. He has lessons at 8:30 Tuesdays morning when there are no other kids in the pool which is good so they don't get distracted or scared by all the other kids in the pool. As of yesterday, he can now float on his back by himself. Kate is really close to moving up into a different class as well. She can free style and back stroke the width of the pool as well as dive down into the water and grab rings with out assistance. I signed them both up for 20 minute private lessons during Thanksgiving and Christmas break, so that they can continue to excel and for Brody so he doesn't forget the things he has learned.
