Discovering Portland: Children's Museum

I had been excited to check this place out, but had heard from a friend that our kids might be too old for it, so I put it on the back burner. Then, I heard from another friend that the first Friday of the month, from 4-8pm is free.  So, we decided to head over to the zoo (it's right next door, and we have a membersip) for a couple hours and then check it out.  I'm glad we did!  And I'm glad we didn't pay, because our kids really are a little too old for this place.  I say its ideal for 2-6 year olds.  There was a clay area and that is where the kids spent the most time.  It was cool just to go through and explore all the different activities.  They had fun, even if a lot of it was too "young" for them.  It was a great afternoon/evening (it was a beautiful day today--and night!  I am writing this blog on my back porch!).

The pics were taken with the cruddy camera on my phone, so they aren't great.  But here they are:
