Witto Monkey: museum

With Jaxon entering into our lives, we didn't want Zoë to feel left out or like she losing her precious mommy and me time. So, I found a cute little Lunar Festival event being held over at the Bower's Museum in Santa Ana.

We got there and I was all bout cute pictures of the Zoesters. This was the first one we took over by the entrance of the festival.

After perusing the entrance area, we decided to head to one of the first DIY tables. This one was to make a little oragami Baby Yoda!

And then Zoë got really excited to get her face painted.

We stopped by an art station after. The station was to design our very own Cherry Blossom tree where they had different shades of pink tissue paper to use for the Cherry Blossoms.

Here's Zoë hard at work.

And here's her finished product.

None of the shows have started yet, so we just walked around and checked out the art and sculptures they had.

Zoë then saw another fun art station. So she plopped down and started to color.

Once she was done coloring. We went to take a look at the other side of the Museum and Mommy found a ton of awesome picturesque spots.

And now showtime! We hung out and watched a girl group of drummers.

And then, it was time to go home.. but not before a few last minute photos.

Finally time for us to walk around the Museum of Ice Cream! We've been dying to go since my birthday.

When you enter through the glass doors, there's an ice cream cart that you dunk your hand in for a Dove Chocolate treat and to the left was an ornate ice cream wall.

Then, you followed the guide into the next room, which was a super pink room with pink rotary phones hanging on the walls. The guide prompted us to each pick up a phone and tap the lever to hear a message. The message was basically just a welcome message.
Here's J and Zoë and me and Zoë on the phones.

The guide left us there while we listened to the message and we were free to wander at our own pace.

The next room was super cute. It was very Los Angeles with pink palm trees, Venice Ice Cream and and the Museum of Ice Cream up where in Hollywood Hills.

This was also the first room that they served us ice cream. They gave us a scoop each of some yummy raspberry flavored ice cream.

The next room was the banana room! They had a few swings setup before you enter the room with a ton of hanging bananas.

Then was the very pink and yellow banana room.

Next room over had cute standing gardens with an adorable mint theme. Because you know, you grow mint in the soil. In that room, they had some mint flavored mochi ice cream.

Jeric gave his to Zoë because he's not a fan of mint ice cream and the both of us devoured it. Sooo delicious!

Another fun colorful room is the Rainbow Sherbet room.

Between the Rainbow Sherbet room and the next was a white hallway with some all white wall deco. On the other side was a video screen where we took this fun video!

We then walked on over to a room filled with giant popsicles!

Which was proceeded by another colorful room filled with gummy bears! They even served us a handful of gummy bears to munch on.

Then there was a huge long line in an area with ice cream cones slammed all over the wall. They served us cookie dough ice cream, which was not tasty. At least me and J were like ewwww. Zoë loved it though and it totally made her mouth black. Lol.

And the reason behind the long line? The sprinkle pool was next. Yup, that's right. A swimming pool full of sprinkles! Of course, they weren't real sprinkles. They were gazillions of tiny plastic molds of sprinkles. We all had such a blast in there. Especially Zoë. She totally didn't want to leave after our group's time was up.
