Cincinnati Children's Museum

There was another outing for Nora this afternoon, a surprise for her this time, at the Cincinnati Children's Museum. The museum is housed with two other museums and an OmniMax Theater in Union Terminal, which was once a busy train station with 108 trains in and out every day. The surprise for me was to find out that it is only 10 minutes from my house.

The Children's Museum is casual and interactive and big. I know we didn't see more than half of it. Below you'll see snips of the water play area,

swinging bridge connected to tunnels, caves, and slides,

ball area - there are balls flying everywhere,

and the grocery store, part of a play complex with store, kitchen, restaurant, doll area, and animal hospital . Nora kept a close eye on her shopping cart (are you listening, Santa?)

Through it all, sturdy little Aaron was a good guy, checking things out, eating, and snoozing.
