Zimmer Museum

When my mom was in town last week we decided to let Peter play hooky from school one day so we could go on a little adventure. After much deliberating, we decided to go down to LA to the Zimmer Children's Museum. What a great discovery! It's this tiny museum tucked away in the middle of a Jewish heritage building downtown but it was chock full of awesome kid-friendly place spaces. 

The boys loved this water table.

Benji would have spent all day playing in the water if we'd let him.

And the construction zone (where many signs were in Yiddish).

They got to be pilots in a real-life airplane.

But Peter's favorite section of the entire place had to be the aid and rescue area.

They had a full sized ambulance the kids could play in, 

lots of medical equipment to 'diagnosis' their patients with 

Aaaand this great rescue raft surrounded by 'water' or a giant ball pit the kids could play in to their hearts content.

 It took Benji a while to warm up to the idea of the ball pit, but once we got him in there, he was all smiles.

 I'm so glad we discovered this wonderful kids museum and that Grandma was able to come along with us! We had a wonderful time -- Peter already keeps asking when we get to go back to the 'search and rescue museum.' 

Thanks for taking us on an adventure Grandma!
