Turtle Bay

Warning - Big Post Ahead! :)

This morning I took Priya to Turtle Bay Exploration Park. It was our first time visiting this amazing place. Priya had such a wonderful time we went back for another round after her nap!

We spent the morning in Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp playing in an awesome playground area that looked like a really awesome tree fort.




We then ventured over to the water feature where Priya enjoyed moving various pieces around to create a dam and change the water flow. It was about 90 degrees out today so splashing in the water was a welcome activity.






After her nap we came back and spent the rest of the afternoon in the museum. There is nothing like watching a child explore and experience things for the first time. Priya was wide-eyed and absolutely enthralled with the various exhibits.

Below Priya takes in the aquarium.

This was a really neat exhibit. It shows what a tree's root system looks like below the ground. Priya was delighted with it!
They had small caves to walk through...
And a teepee to explore...
We ended our afternoon building different types of structures - another big hit!
