Discovery Museum

On Saturday we took Lucas to the Bay Area Discovery Museum.  We invited grandpa to come along.  The museum didn't have many exciting things for adults to do, but Lucas was in heaven.  The view from the parking lot of the museum was really pretty.
I stole some of these pictures from my dad, because my camera battery was dying.  There were a lot of fun things to do outside, so we did all that in the morning when the weather was nice.  We swam fish in a stream.
 We built some fun towers, and then later Lucas tipped them over.
 Lucas liked the view from the crow's nest.
He really liked driving this boat.  It even had a little captain's quarters under deck with a toilet that Lucas kept trying to go in.
 There was a big log that Lucas liked climbing through.  He made grandpa squeeze through a few times too. Grandpa didn't fit quite as well as Lucas did.
 Lucas liked pretending to be a spider.
 And there was a cool tree stump stair case that we all hiked up.  I think we're going to have to start taking Lucas outside to explore more often; he loved going around to all the different paths and tromping through the dirt.
 We stopped for lunch and then finished up with some of the indoor stuff.  The indoor stuff wasn't quite as much fun for Lucas, because it was geared towards older children.  Lucas did like playing with this large train set, though.
 We had a really fun time playing at the museum.
