Mississippi Children's Museum

Last Friday, my mom and I took Ella Kate to the new Children's Museum in Jackson. I grew up going to the children's museums in Memphis and Atlanta, so when they started talking about building one in Jackson, I was thrilled to say the least. They really did an incredible job with this place! I was quite impressed and we had a blast. A super HUGE thank you to mom for getting us the family pass so we can go back as much as we want!!!! I can't wait!!!!
The kitchen was a big hit with Ella Kate. A lot of the activities are a little too grown up for her to do independently, but the kitchen was a perfect fit. She immediately found the strawberry yogurt...shocker!


This is EK's new silly face. When she thinks something is really funny, or you ask her to smile, this is what you get.




EK especially loved the Between the Lions exhibit. It was set up just like the library on the show (which is made in MS) and had all of her favorite books to read. One of the sweet workers even did a story time while we were there.
EK was so funny in here. She just kept saying "hot" and wouldn't touch the corn or the pot.
Kay Kay and Ella Kate built boats for a race
And Ella Kate won!
Ek is OBSESSED with elevators. We have to go up and down several times every time we go to the church. She always has to push the buttons, meaning we have to pick her up. Not at the museum. They have a little hand down low so little ones can push the button. They really thought of everything!!!
My Pelahatchie friends don't have anything on EK. She liked milking the cow. Maybe she can go to work on the Knight's dairy farm?


We had an awesome time!!! We didn't even get to see everything, so I can't wait to get back there very soon!!!!
