2002 Jun 28, Children's Museum of the Shoals Florence, Alabama

Took Hannah to the Children's Museum, where she sat in the dentist's chair holding a blue toothbrush as long as her arm would not fit in her mouth. Of course, the teeth she is standing next to would be used by the large blue toothbrush.

Naturally, if you are in the Shoals area, you have to visit Helen Keller's birthplace. Of course, hanging next to Helen Keller on the wall are Jessie Price and Stanley Goldstein. Now for a bit of sitting time in a nook for storytime. Back to the first floor, it is time for a bit of music, as Hannah enjoys dancing on the musical keyboard with keys that are bigger than her feet. There were also drums, xylophones, and many other musical instruments.

Onto the kitchen, where a raccoon was watching as she prepared a meal. After she finished cooking, it was time for a quick slide with Miss Piggy. Time for a bit of construction work with a hammer & nails, Hannah. Don't forget to wear your hard hat on construction sites. Now, it was time to check out the water pump and the flowing creek that was filled with boats floating down the stream.

It was such a beautiful day, so we headed outside. Hannah crossed the rocks that were over the babbling brook, making sure she did not get her feet wet. Lying on the ground were construction materials to build a house. She started but did not finish. There was a Green wagon, so she climbed aboard for a picture. We walked back inside, did some grocery shopping, and then cooked again. I went back upstairs for a bit of karaoke. Hannah dressed up in a white robe with purple trim and a sash. Of course, I joined in the karaoke, and we had a great time acting silly.

Next, we visited the X-ray machine to see what she looked like inside. Next, she did a little crafting and traced the map of the USA. We had a fun day at the Children's Museum of the Shoals.
