Mexico Part 21: Trompo Magico

Eva at the playground 
It seems like these kiddos come with us a lot to trompo.  Noah, Ava and my Eva
Eli on the cow, that since then, I have noticed a sign that you can't ride the cow.  Whoops.

Riding the tractor.  Anything with a steering wheel is fun.

In reality these pictures are back from May, but I thought I would post together since the post is all about Trompo Magico.
It seems like lately we spend every Saturday at this place.  And this place is Trompo Magico.  I think it is one of my favorite places here in Mexico.  It is nothing different when compared to a Children's Museum back home.  I suppose that is what I like about it.  It feels so American, so kid friendly, so clean.  The place is hardly ever crowded and it is always well stocked.  In this way it is better than the Portland's Children Museum.  That place seems like it is always packed and I couldn't really afford to go there unless I used their cultural pass from the public library.  But here, the kids and I bought a membership so that only thing I have to pay for when I go is the 20 pesos ($1.50) I pay for parking.  What a steal I tell you, because the membership is only 350 pesos for a family of 4 (it was about $30 for me at the time).  The kids never get tired of playing inside and if they do we head outside and play in the outdoor park and have a little lunch.  Most of the time we go with friends.  It is easier to keep track of the kids if there are multiple moms there.  We each help watch each others children and not to mention we keep each other company while the children play, play, play.  Just writing about this place makes me HAPPY.

There is a mat area that is technically for children under 2 but Eli can seriously spend one hour in this place wrestling the mats and getting stuck in these tubes.  He wasn't too excited here.  
Look at him palm this baby.  All those stethoscopes were placed in the crib by yours truly.  
In the bubble contraption.  Love this pic.  Naomi, Eva, Ava, Erik.
Look at that face, but isn't the bubble cool?

Ha ha, that last picture of Eva makes me laugh! It seems like as soon as I bust out the camera to prove how much fun they're having, the do something like that. Looks like a cool place.
