Sunday was a special day for Daddy, Mama, and Rowan as they visited the Atlanta Children’s Museum. Mama had planned the day and our family was eager to explore the museum’s various attractions.
The STEM areas were first on the list and the family had a great time experimenting with the interactive exhibits. We played with magnets, built structures with blocks, and learned about the different types of energy. Daddy was, of course, fascinated by the music exhibits and spent a lot of time exploring them. Meanwhile, Mama and Rowan found the ocean exhibit. They decided to don manta ray costumes and had a blast pretending to swim through the museum. Rowan particularly enjoyed flapping his fins!
After the STEM areas, we headed to the farm to kitchen exhibit where they learned about the farm-to-table process. Rowan drove a fork lift, a delivery truck, and a tractor! Then he collected eggs from a chicken coop, and even got to harvest some plants. Rowan rushed them to the grocery store and finally joined Daddy in the kitchen to do some cooking. Mama, the family gardener, was so excited to see Rowan taking an interest in where his food comes from.
The water area was the family’s favorite part of the museum. Rowan had a blast playing with the water table and even did some play fishing. He caught a plastic fish and was overjoyed with his success. Daddy and Mama enjoyed watching him play and were amazed at how much he was learning through play.
After a morning of exploring the museum, the family went for a walk in Centennial Park. They took in the beautiful scenery and enjoyed the sunshine. They even stumbled upon some street performers and stopped to watch their show.
Lunchtime had arrived, and the family headed to Fat Matt’s Rib Shack for some delicious barbecue. Daddy and Mama ordered a rack of ribs, a pint of Mac and Cheese, and some excellent sweet tea. Rowan enjoyed a quarter chicken and some mac, too! And of course, we had a treat of cookies and sweet potato pie. It was definitely the perfect way to end our fun-filled day at the Atlanta Children’s Museum.
