Mississippi Children's Museum


Our last stop was to visit with Lulu in Jackson and see the new children's museum.  Oh, my my!  The Mississippi Children's Museum puts the one in Dallas to shame!  It was amazing and huge.  We spent three hours there and maybe did half of it.  And some of the stuff we just barely spent any time on. The boys were so excited they were practically vibrating.  Overstimulated is an understatement.



Ben is still too small to make it up the climbing equipment in the play areas, but that doesn't stop him ...


He just brings his Mommy along.  He wore me out!


Legos are awesome!


Build some cars, race them, and see which one wins.  They had a similar exhibit in the water section where you build your own boat and race it down the river.



One of the displays from the MS Delta area.  Of course it has catfish!


The water area was definitely one of our favorites.



Look close at the stream in the background ... where you can go fishing for catfish!




A close second easily goes to Stomach Theater.  You start by climbing up the tongue, into the mouth, down the throat, into the stomach ...


Do you see where this is going?


After you exit the intestines and enter the colon, you are treated to the most realistic farting noises ... a five year old boy's dream attraction!  You end up in the "toilet" with a big flush!  

To quote Ben, "Fart, butt, fart, butt, butt, butt, fart, butt."  His teachers are not going to be so thrilled at what he learned on his vacation!
