I can't begin to tell you how much I love the Children's Discovery Museum in Chattanooga. Every year, they have a Chinese New Year celebration - and now they have the "Children of Hangzhou: Connecting With China" exhibit through May. I absolutely love the above picture. Seeing Bri and Chani standing in front of a picture of the Great Wall of China. I hope in a few years that they both will be standing on the real Great Wall - maybe together. Wouldn't that be cool Kathy? :D
The girls had a blast playing together at the museum. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the exhibit...

It was a fantastic exhibit and a wonderful day. I still have lots of pictures from the rest of museum that I will blog about tomorrow. The girls had so much fun they didn't want to go home. The parents were tired after a long afternoon though and totally ready to go home. LOL!
5 Kind Words:
THAT is such a great exhibit!!! I would LOVE to take our littles there~ looks like Bri and friend loved it!!! Hope you all have a great week!!! XO
All that makes me want to visit China one day........
Great Exhibit! it makes me smile to see you dressed up a like opera singers. the costumes and pictures are from a very famous Opera "Legend of the White Snake", see the story on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_White_Snake
white Snake's Maid is "Green Snake" , so their costumes are in White & Green.
What a great exhibit! Wish we had a children's museum in our area and even better would be an awesome exhibit like that one.
Such a neat exhibit. Need to see that. glad you had fun. :)
