Maine Discovery Museum

Finally a big smile during snack time!

For months and months I have been looking forward to taking Lily to the Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor. Everyone raves about it, but since they are closed on Mondays (our day off) we just haven't managed to make it. So we decided to take Lily the morning of her actual birthday. It would have been "too much fun" as they say in their commercials, but unfortunately the week we went was also a school break week- which meant that the museum was literally crawling with kiddos. It was crazy. It took Lily about 20 minutes before she really wanted to get down and play (she was just totally overwhelmed with all the people and noise). We did end up having a good time- Lily really loved the Maine waterway exhibit (where she got to sail boats), the doctor's station, watering the garden there, the puppet theatre, and the Goodnight Moon room among other things. I think we'll eventually buy a one year pass (maybe this coming winter)- but we will stay away on school vacation weeks!
