CHILDREN'S MUSEUM!!!!!

Yesterday, three families went to the Children's Museum. It was free for the children, the adults paid $2. It was only worth $2 - maybe not even that. If I had paid regular price, $6 adults, $3 for children - I would have really been mad. Most of the exhibits were reading plaques - not exactly hands on for children.

Four girls having a "picnic" with play food in a rocking boat:

The tunnel started in a garbage can and ended up as "U.S. Mail." Would anyone like this package that was delivered today?

Paul Bunyan was there with Babe, the big blue ox. From left to right: Elyse, Chloe, Emma & Grace. When Elyse saw Grace that morning, she said to me: "Mom, I have a shirt just like that." I said, "No, you don't." After several times saying that, I said, "That IS your shirt." I had handed down a bag of clothes to them and Grace happened to wear Elyse's favorite shirt to the museum.

Emma & Elyse found their favorite corner. A "bedroom" with lots of books.

A slide a little too small for the girls, but they made it fun anyway.

The play room: Lawson is sticking out of the top. The girls are playing inside.

Mrs. Morrow pondering our next move. Her daughter, Megan, taking a picture.

Emma & Elyse's finished tee-pee.

I just realized that I didn't get a picture of the "big" boys, Zachary & Chatham. They were there though. After we entered the museum, we never saw them until we were ready to leave. Don't know what they did or saw, but they had a great day.

What Dad does while we are gone: Study!

After the museum, we headed to Ben & Jerry's for FREE ice cream. Our Ben & Jerry's is closing today (3/24), as you can tell by the sign on the window. The free ice cream wasn't just for our store though. We stopped by the house to pick up Tim - he needs free ice cream too.

It was a gorgeous day - about 55 degrees. The wind was a little cold, but we enjoyed eating ice cream outside anyway (especially at that price).
