We spent early Sunday afternoon at the Children’s Museum of Houston. They have an area called TotSpot created especially for 0-36 month olds. And I get that older siblings and cousins need to remain close to their Adult Supervisor, but I sure wish their Adult Supervisor would teach them not to take toys from toddlers, and you know, generally supervise their children.
We bought a Family membership last week that will provide us us air-conditioned entertainment, discounted parking, and members-only hours for an entire year for a totally-worth-it-less-than-the-cost-of-two-mani-pedis-I-so-desparately-need seventy bucks.
One thing the website didn’t tell us was that adults must wear hospital booties over their shoes or over their bare feet. Children must wear socks or go barefoot. Next time we’ll be taking socks. Consider yourself informed!

I’m glad you guys made it. We tried on Friday and the line was wrapped around the building. We went to the butterfly exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science instead and it was a big hit. Still warm, but not as hot as the outside and the girls really got into looking at all the butterflies and plants. I’d highly recommend it, although they don’t allow strollers, so be forewarned.

Is it clean? We will be in Houston for month at the end of July and I am already looking for indoor, air conditioned things to keep us occupied.

Glad you guys enjoyed it. You know… if you want a break from the heat… come visit us! Not that it is cold here by ANY MEANS, but I can say it is probably a bit cooler than your neck of the woods
Cute pic’s as usual!

Hi Staci, thanks for stopping in! Yes, the Museum is clean (certainly the TotSpot part was!). We got there right when it opened on a holiday weekend so it was pretty crowded in the rest of the museum, but the TotSpot was plenty roomy even with lots of people inside. You might also try Discovery Green park (an outdoor park in downtown houston) that has spouts of water shooting out as shown in pictures at the bottom of this post: http://rajencreation.wordpress.com/2009/05/18/fifty-six-and-a-half-week-newsletter/
