Will Work For... The Amazeum!

A children's museum just opened in Bentonville on the lot next to Crystal Bridges. Aaron and I discussed the ways a family pass could benefit our family, this year, and decided to go for it. But before we made the purchase, a bad case of entitlement swept through Fort Willy. 

I don't respond well to idle behavior. I expressed my frustration to Aaron, and we had a family night discussion to remind everyone to be respectful to rules and each other, be responsible for our own behavior and space, and to give personal space to one another. It went well. 

I created an incentive for the kids to wake up to yesterday morning, along with a list with several ideas for ways to earn 200 points.

They set right to work. No complaints! Huge success. 

The children reached 200 points around 3pm, so off to the Anazeuma we went. Aaron met us there after work.

The Hershey lab, rain room, truck loading, artist corner, "beanstalk", and mini homestead were their favorite parts, and they didn't even have time to explore the whole place. 

(Side note: I think that guy in front of me looks exactly like Aaron's cousin, Colin.)

The music room and mini walmart were super fun too! I see many hours of fun in our future. I have no photos of Corbin because he moved so quickly from one area to the next. He got soaked in the rain room right before we left and was sound asleep before the car even left the parking lot. That's one tuckered out kid. 

Amazeum success! 

And my house is clean. Great work, kids!
