museums

Spending four hours in a museum is a record for me.

A am not much a museum person, to slow going I suppose.

 But watching our granddaughters go through the

 Children's Museum Saturday was pure delight..

Remember having a Lite Brite when you were a kid?

This place is a marvelous place for children...

the sky was the limit.

A diner complete with play food, counter and stools, kitchen...

Don't you love the apron and hat here?

I think the grocery store was the sweetest...

shopping carts, bakery, cash registers.

There was a theater with costumes for the kids

 and a news counter with videos for kids to watch themselves on.

A teepee...

vegetable garden, chicken coop and

a sod house fully furnished for that period.

Our girls went right to work in the auto repair shop

 complete with a car they could work over and under.

Would you believe I forgot my camera at home?

This place, with two cute girls in tow, was a bloggers dream!

(Thank goodness for cell phone cameras.)

We ordered lunch in the museum cafe. 

The grilled cheese sandwich came in the shape of a face.

 What was grandpa thinking about when he ate the pickle mouth!

 The girls were not impressed to see that.

The museum used to be a school that has been renovated.

What a brilliant idea for kids.

We never did make it out to see the dinosaurs.

 But that will give us an excuse to go back...

with my camera!
