Today was the last day of my conference, and I was done at noon, so I got to catch up with the rest of the family. They took the subway and bus in the morning out to the Fernbank Museum of Natural History.
The museum is not specifically for children, but there were tons of children's sections.
There was a huge indoor playground and a big forest park and playground outside.
There were lots of little tunnels and houses for the kids to hide in in the indoor playground.
They could have spent all day just in the one playground room.
There were also lots of dinosaur fossils out in the main atrium.
After I arrived, we had to get a dino family picture.
The outdoor playground area had a boardwalk with interesting sculptures built into it. It was a bearable temperature out there as long as you kept in the shade.
Later in the afternoon, the kids played in the outdoor playground, that included a river to play in. It was still to hot to stand on the pavement, but the water was refreshing.
The bus ride home was part of the adventure for the kids. They have a rule that kids can't stay in the stroller, so the kids got to sit in their own seats. It seems that Atlanta is a pretty car focused city, the transit was pretty empty.
Back at the apartment, Jasper built a "beaver dam" out of all of the cushions and wouldn't let us dismantle it. It wasn't worth the fight, so we had story time on the floor.
