Custom House Muesum

The Grocery Store Section

Over Mother's Day weekend my sister-in law came for a visit.  My kids were excited to say the very least.  We don't get to see either side of my family or my husband's family to much.  Main because both of them live so far away from us.  My husband's family in New England and my family in Hawaii.  So it tends to be a huge deal when someone visits us.

The kids stayed every night at the hotel with my sister-in law and we spent with her and the kids.  One of the things we did was visit our local museum.  The best part or the part that the kids loved most was a play grocery store in the kid's section of the museum.  There they played with there Auntie.  They took turns shopping, checking out and even trying to cook in the little play kitchen they had set up.

Another part of the museum they tried there hand at some science stuff.  Not really sure what it was, but I know it had to do with force and timing. Then there was a small play house that was set up.  That the kids played in for sometime.  Really they never wanted to leave that part.  They asked my husband later he could build a whole play grocery and play house for them. He told them when we get a bigger house then maybe.

Here is my husband and Hondo trying to work one of the science experiments things they had there.

 

This was the thing they were trying to do.  The little blurry white thing is a ball rolling by.

Dare-Devil Boy was taking a hand at playing the piano.  It didn't go to well.

Well that was out trip to the museum.  There was a part with a old pioneer cabin too. But I didn't get pictures cause it was to dark.  That part was also interesting because we had just finished our unit on the pioneering and reading through Little House on the Prairie.  In the cabin they had a loom, spinning wheel and other things that just finished learning about.
