Trip to the museum with the Mapp's!

We had a blast playing with you Mapp Family. Glad you came and joined us over spring break.

When you go to the musuem, you have to have dinosaurs. So this would be the first thing we had to venture over to. The kids loved sitting in the foot print of the dinosaur. They are so big that the kids can sit inside it. The musuem was sooooooooooooo crowded. There were millions of people there. So it was moving around like bumper cars. Overall we had fun though. THANKS Mapp Family!





Here are some pictures from the big kids play room!








They have this really neat kids room. In this room, you can build, pretend to be a nurse or doctor, pretend to grocery shop, or play in the water outside. We weren't able to go outside since it was raining. But we have been back since and they love the outside unit. This room is the overall favorite of our children. I believe it is the overall favorite for every child. It is the most kid orriented room in the musuem. What fun times.




This is the tinker toy room. They have this really cool sand machine. You put sand on this wheel and it spins around. Then you can use tools to make different strokes on the wheel. There was a long line waiting to play on this cool toy. Also in the tinker toy room they had a shadow box. You go in this room with about six people and stand against the wall. Then this light flashes. Afterwards you can turn around and see your shadow. I took a picture of the kids, but they didn't really come out since it is a black room. Oh well. It is a neat exhibit though.






There are these rooms with things to do on the way to the tinker toy room. The kids love these rooms because they get to make things. So in this room, they are exploring with wind snakes and wind mobils. They also have spin tops that have markers on the end. These make neat circles with all the different colors. Then another table is a race car with markers attached to it. You get a remote to drive the car around and make different pictures. This happened to be everyone's favorite over all. Some other rooms that are available are making a movie, building different structures, and working on computers. Such fun to explore on your own.






There is an energy movie in the musuem that is 3D. Cole loves it and calls it the Dinosaur movie. We all had fun watching it. Make sure you watch out for the dinosaur spitting on you. YUCK!
