Bob the Builder: Take 1

A few weeks ago, the kids and I went down to Chattanooga for a few days to visit my Aunt Joanna who flew in from Florida:

After Joanna flew home, Mom and I took the kids to the Creative Discovery Museum to see the main attraction: Bob the Builder!

High Fivin' Bob

The whole top floor was transformed with Bob and his crew in life-size replicas.

Scoop:

Benny:

Muck:

"Umm, guys, this says 'No Climbing'!"

They had tools that acted and sounded just like Gavin's Dad's tools!

He knew just what to do!

Fixing the plumbing:

Gavin's favorite part, even with all the tools and trucks, was playing with the cars/trucks:

And in a close 2nd--playing in the rock-filled swimming pools outside with the trucks!

Henley is a little too young, so she was along for the ride...

...and explored a bit:

And then we found a room just for her age!

I didn't get it on camera, but she pulled up for the first time to standing on this toy!

Cooking in the kitchen:

Learning to play instruments:

We had such a great time that we traded our tickets in for a membership!!

So, of course we had to go back this weekend while Bob the Builder was still there! More to come--this time with Ryan and Pop!
