Curious George at Khol's Children's Museum

It's been over a year since we've visited the Khol's Children's Museum in Glenview. When I read about a Curious George exhibit there and told the kids about it, we knew we had to go back.

While we only stayed in the Curious George exhibit for about five minutes (for us it really wasn't that great), we stayed at the museum for almost two hours.

We usually don't visit children's museums, or really any indoor museums, all that much in the summer, since we try to be out when the weather is good most of the time. So, now that fall in here in full force, it's awakened our excitement over all things museum. In fact, I just called my mom and asked if she wants to go to the Field Museum next week, so I'll be writing about that soon.

Sometimes the kids go to museums and get really wrapped up in one area, and we don't see a lot of the rest of the museum. And then other days, like this one, they go crazy running around from section to section, just excited to be touching and seeing everything new. Here are some picture highlights:

This last picture shows the one area where we spent the most time that day. It was a sound machine that altered your voice to slow down or speed up a recorded message. The kids and Steve must have recorded dozens of messages to play back over and over again. Its was a really great day with the family.
