The Lowcountry Children's Museum...

...the perfect rainy day solution! Since we couldn't do outside activities without getting soaked, we spent the afternoon exploring the offerings of the children's museum.
First, we tried our hand at being shrimp boat fishers.






The cutest little shrimp boat fisher you've ever seen.


Next stop: The Charleston Market.
To market, to market...it was so fun to watch Madelynne grocery shop all on her own! I was pleasantly surprised to discover she filled half of her cart with fruits and vegetables.




Madelynne managed to find the only chocolate the market was selling. Chocolate chips! She is definitely my daughter.


Waiting in line to purchase her groceries.


Unloading the groceries on the conveyor belt.


Jackson loved playing in the water room. Look at that smile...




Madelynne getting ready to race her golf ball on the "roller coaster".


Pretty, pretty princess. We could have stayed here all day and Madelynne would have been perfectly content! A whole room of the museum was turned into a castle. Madelynne was estatic to dress up in a pink dress and sleep in a real castle with a real princess bed. She kept pretending she was Sleeping Beauty.


Last stop: The art workshop.
Madelynne really enjoyed creating her own masterpieces in the art workshop. She was very excited to use the paint. The picture she is painting is of a fish swimming in the water. She also painted him wearing a raincoat so he would not get wet in the rain. Don't you just love the way children think?



The perfect ending to a rainy day outing. We went to this cute bakery devoted solely to cupcakes! Yum!

The delicious choices!

I, of course, chose a chocolate cupcake. The actual name? Death by Chocolate...not a bad way to go if you ask me!

What could of turned out to be a not so great day on our vacation actually ended up being one our favorites.
