The first part is a water area with boats and a play structure. It was only after she soaked her shirt that I discovered the water smocks! (This is a small part of it):
She really liked the huge instruments:
Playing with the light box in the Art Room:
The dinosaur area was awesome! There was a sand pit where kids can dig for dinosaur bones:
The roof had a playground area that was all about gears. Here she is in a seat that's a pulley system:
The big exhibit right now is Bob the Builder. Olivia was amazed when we got in the room and ran right over and hugged this character:
It was really neat. Lots of play tools and climbing.
We spent quite a bit of time in the clinic. She had a doctor's appointment Wednesday (it was HORRIBLE- more on that later!), so it was fresh on her mind:
She did manage to throw in a few ballet moves:
I see many more trips to the museum in our future!
2 weeks ago, there was an insert for the Rhea County Fair in the local newspaper. Olivia was looking through it and pointed to a picture, saying "I want to do that!" To my surprise, it was a picture of some little girls in the Fairest of the Fair pageant. She is normally pretty shy, but I figured we would try it! There were so many little girls in this pageant! Olivia ended up in the 3-5 year age group, which had 14 contestants. The 19-36 month age group (which she missed by a month) only had 4 (of course!). She acted a little scared backstage, but she did sooooo good! A few of the little girls have either been in pageants before or have watched several episodes of Toddlers and Tiaras, because they were all about waving, smiling, blowing kisses, and twirling. We just kind of threw Olivia out there, but the Fairest of the Fair queen helped her, luckily! I was snapping pictures like crazy without looking at them, so I didn't realize the camera was on the wrong setting. 90% of the pictures I took were fuzzy, these are the ones I managed to sharpen a little:
She was by far the smallest (and youngest) in her age category:
Getting her trophy:
She is so proud of this trophy!
Luckily, Daddy is better with a camcorder than I am with a camera and managed to get her solo performance (it's a little over a minute long, but really cute!):
I thought she might have a chance for 2nd runner up, but no such luck. The lady sitting behind us told me we were robbed, ha! It was really fun and we are actually headed back to the fair tonight for the rodeo (it was SO HOT today, we could hardly stand it!). She's already asking to be in another pageant! Maybe next year. :)
