We have a new Children's Museum in our area and last week, our homeschool group took a field trip there. It was a lot of fun, even for the big kids. They had a great water table there. You could crawl under and get inside a plastic bubble and have your friends pour water on you. Very cool.
The big boys immediately set out to create long plumbing runs. When one of the workers mentioned that another group of children had made the pipes run all the way from the intakes here to the waterwheel, our boys were determined to duplicate the feat.
And they did. They ran the pipe under water, under the yellow bridge and over to the water wheel behind Nathan. They all got plenty of water on their clothes, but what does that matter when there is a challenge to overcome?
Aaron using the Force!
They had a great "doctor's office" and "dentist's office" for the children to explore.
There was even a wall of glasses that the children could try on. I even found ones that looked just like my cool, huge, tinted glasses from high school.
I personally liked this piece. It is a map of the United States made with license plates.

That looks like great fun. We haven't been there yet!
It's great to see pictures of the new children's museum. It's not too far from the mission, and I'm in an organization with their volunteer director. Heard many wonderful reports! I'm really tempted to go there even if I don't have a child in tow. ;)
I'll go with you! ;) Looks like a lot of fun.
