My girls LOVED it! We arrived around 11am to miss the schools - they seem to leave for lunch around 11am so the crowd becomes far more manageable after then. There are tons of interactive exhibits that allow for exploration and learning. I've attached some photos since my description is giving this exhibit no justice.<br /><br /><div>For those who have yet to experience the Lieds Museum, don't let the price discourage you. We bought the family membership for our family of 4 (our youngest is under 1 so she isn't counted yet) for $65. If you plan on going 3 times within the year, its paid for itself. We go twice a month so I feel like it was definitely worth it. There's a staff member in every area and we've only had great experiences.</div><br /><div>They have a stage area stocked with girls and boys dress-up clothes. They can strut their stuff on a large stage in front of bleacher seats while the parents take photos of them working the curtains and dancing.</div><div></div><div>The water area has been great in letting my daughters manipulate water flow without being soaked through and through (Springs Preserve play area clothing changes are coming to mind).<br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447183143936171314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxPf1ujhL2gu0FJ4GKGF8zTkhMCkpznjDC09X_HN2XBwaQTV3fWk7y2C4YJ6ExbupKSz24PoZofwQlBAcxXU6U1_CQWgOkSnVipmaDRaVRSax9s4j9XM8ifcgMyWX2nmGZhcDLAeQoiMsJ/s320/Lieds+Childrens+Museum+Under+5+area+Parenting+in+Vegas.jpg" border="0" />The bubble area, airplane, under 5 area with a new craft every day are also huge hits. In the under 5 area there is an area for just non-walking babies. The staff is great about making sure it stays that way.<br /><br /><div>Upstairs is for the 5 and older group, however my girls have loved it up there since they were 2! We all enjoy the shadow maker wall, the pulley chair, and the tornado wind box. We have yet to go into the karaoke room and would really like to keep it that way. These exhibits change now and then but the ones I just mentioned are always there...so far. The crafts for the 5 and older are up there too as well as a craft you can pay for that is in a separate room. They do science experiment shows as well.</div><br /><div>*The museum has a new entrance where their eating area used to be.<br />*The upstairs bathrooms do not have a changing station.</div>Twincess Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195571733528582532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782428554003348876.post-89295660879224868182010-03-10T16:34:00.000-08:002010-03-10T22:31:55.052-08:00St. Patricks Day Parade<span style="color:#003300;">Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a parade, festive entertainment, carnival, rides and more at the Henderson Events Plaza.

Plain and simple. They are the first place I took my girls when I became a SAHM to my at then 8 month old twin girls. I was terrified and clueless as to where to go with them and what to do with them! Tawanda (one of the instructors) is fabulous, she made us all feel right at home as we took off our shoes to participate in our very first circle time. She introduced me to crafts, took the mystery and fear out of me immediately. This place changed me into the active mom with 3 toddlers I am today. I owe this place ever ounce of courage I have with crafts and playdates. Definitely worth the drive from Summerlin!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">*Classes are free unless specified otherwise (like Love and Logic, a great parenting program!)</span></strong>Twincess Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195571733528582532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782428554003348876.post-24621452808918993252009-12-14T22:38:00.000-08:002009-12-14T22:56:27.394-08:00Lieds Childrens Museum presents Winter Holiday - Hanukkah<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415353109169868242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 184px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 101px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC9JwG0jQm-pYiyBwf2Q4leYWuf0e7d0b6l3QKYLWg2cEaLtXhTanrFCWJ7rHXRt2J5AXLFoghYdEce9C_gNcKdT5elK1plzJnzRpWBRLLpM3YMNLEUSF9L46a8WBxRbzrc0E82-VQGLQV/s320/lied_logo.gif" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000099;"><strong>Lieds Childrens Museum presents Winter Holiday - Hanukkah</strong></span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"><br /></span><strong>Learn all about the traditions of this holiday and why it is such a special time in the Jewish Community.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ldcm.org/images/discovery09q4calendar.jpg">Link to Calendar of Events</a></strong><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">The Lieds Childrens Museum is a great place to take kids from crawling to school age. Lieds has recently changed their entrance location, if you've been befor it is now located where the public eating area was. This means that the only eating area is in a hallway with 2 vending machines. But they do at least have 3-4 large round tables with chairs to sit at. We always pack our lunch and this area has worked out fine for us, even when busy!</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">If you plan a few days in advance you can call ahead to see if any schools will be there for a fieldtrip. Otherwise, I suggest going around 11am. The fieldtrip kids tend to break for lunch at 11:30 or just plainly leave. There is a section just for kids 5 and under, even a non-walkers area for your crawler! </span><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Entrance Fee:</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Adults $8</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;">Children 1 and up $7</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">We have the membership since we go at least once a month.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#000099;"><a href="http://www.ldcm.org/sup.php?id=15">FAMILY MEMBERSHIP FEES</a></span><br /></strong><span style="color:#006600;">There is a limit cap of six persons allowed on this membership<br />$55 for two family members (1 Adult & 1 Child)<br />$60 for three family members<br />$65 for four family members<br />and so on....</span></div>Twincess Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195571733528582532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782428554003348876.post-23479897930830731252009-12-12T23:26:00.000-08:002009-12-14T22:58:46.349-08:00Holiday Events Around Vegas!<div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Photos With Santa!<br /></span></strong><a href="http://www.townsquarelasvegas.com/events/details/17-photos-with-santa-claus.html"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Town Square Las Vegas</span></strong></a></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Every weekday (Nov 14-Dec 24)</span></strong><br /></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ages: All</span></strong><br /></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Admission is free</span></strong></div><div align="left"><br /><span style="color:#006600;">Santa has been checking his list and checking it twice and wants to know who has been naughty and nice!

We went about 6 times last year and only once was there a family ahead of us to sit with Santa. The last time was on Christmas Eve and I had them take like 4 photos till it was perfect...their Super nice. </strong></div><br /><div><br /><strong>After we have our Santa photo shoot we all head over to the casino area where there's a mermaid show which is free to watch, and it is spectacular. There are 4,000 beautiful tropical fish mingled in with a group of ex-Olympic synchronized swimmers. They really do a beautiful job, it is well worth the effort to go and see this. The show itself is about 10 minutes and it starts up again after a 15 minute break. </strong></div><br /><div><br /><a href="http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&pageID=4638&cm_ven=redirects&cm_cat=mktg&cm_pla=store&cm_ite=santa&cm_sp=SantasWonderland2009-11-05-09-_-HM-pos1-_-na-JPG-ClickHereToDiscoverTheMagicNowThruDecember24th"><strong>Basic Info on Bass Pro:</strong></a><strong> Whether you live for the outdoors or not, Bass Pro Shop is a real treat to visit: The 165,000-square-foot, two-story building is built of logs and rocks, reminiscent of old-style Adirondack hunting lodges. The rock fireplace is cozy, as are the rocking chairs out on the "front porch." A trout stream meanders through the store, populated by brook, brown, and the colorful rainbow trout. </strong></div><br /><div><br /><strong>Kids flock to the 40,000-gallon freshwater aquarium, which is fed by a canyon waterfall and features fish native to the area. They also can try their hand (or feet!) on the a rock-climbing wall or the indoor archery range.</strong></div>Twincess Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195571733528582532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782428554003348876.post-88692495699334663852009-12-09T00:26:00.000-08:002009-12-09T22:37:00.535-08:003rd Annual Santa’s Arrival Parade @ Town Square!<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Woohoo</span>! A parade and Santa - it doesn't get any better then that! As usual with Town Square events, the place was packed. The twins we're so excited to see Christmas - everything with lights right now is called Christmas. I put our 7 month old in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bjorn</span> and zipped up my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">REI</span> (I LOVE this jacket, have had it for 8 years now - worth every penny!) lined jacked. The parking lot was filled of cars yet the people were all in great moods. It felt a little odd doing this before thanksgiving but the kids didn't notice! The parade was fun for the girls to watch - dad had them BOTH on his shoulders. I have no idea how he did that, 2 three year old girls get heavy! Santa even had the mic and said some fun Christmas things - our baby was crying so I really wasn't paying attention but the looks on my girls faces was priceless. At the end the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">artificial</span> snow began to fall. We'll <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">definitely</span> do this again next year!Twincess Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195571733528582532noreply@blogger.com0
