After hanging out at Bayou Segnette a few days, Sunday came and we ventured out into the city again.
We chose First Baptist of New Orleans, which is near Metairie Cemetery. The teaching was very good, and I especially loved their lobby walls with the murals depicting their local and international missions.
After church we went over to City Park. We saw some people with crazy Mardi Gras outfits walking through the parking lot!
We walked over to the Children’s Museum, and discovered these “weeble-wobble” chairs on their front porch:
Then we headed inside and found out that they had just reopened the day before for the first time since Covid started. This museum has an amazing outdoor area, so we headed there first. After having fun with a parachute and some balls, we moved on to their little garden, where the boys could help water the plants as they learned more about them.
After the herb and vegetable garden there was more outdoor space with a lake and flowers for additional learning opportunities.
Then we went back inside for a quick tour of some of their play spaces. We enjoyed the ball conveyors, and the art and music spaces.
On our way out, we found the bubble station, and gave giant bubbles a whirl!
Lastly, after fun at the Children’s Museum, we decided to go for a “Sunday Drive” in a 4-person Surrey Cycle! We enjoyed riding around the lake, and each boy got a turn at driving.
