Boston Children's Museum




Yesterday, we took a trip into Boston. We went on the subway, which Henry loved. We had lunch at Quincy Market... which proved to be a real challenge with all of the people and such, and then took the T to the children's Museum. This is from the place that I got a marvelous plate of fried clams. (Check out the guys in the back :) )


Henry absolutely loved it!! And, for the first time, being a teacher actually financially paid off a bit..... I got in free.... So, $18 gets a whole day of fun. I am definately taking Henry back. He had something of a breakthrough. Henry is naturally cautious, and is kind of afraid of a lot of things. But, I think the amount of kids climbing through things and just laughing etc. made him forget all of that and just have fun. He climbed up to the second story of this incredible netting thing that went up like three stories. He loved it. IT was kind of crazy because if he freaked out, there was really no way for me to get in there and get him out....



He also really gained som confidence on this little climby thing. There was a wall of pegs to climb and the first time he tried he was really slow, but he went up and through this little tunnel with a balance beam. Then, he went down a steep ramp with tiny steps.... He was really proud of himself and wanted to go again and again and again... His favorite though was this little canal toy that let kids direct the flow of water with these little faucets. He really liked it. He said it was his favorite.
All in all, this was a great trip. We are definately going back.
