Wednesday took us to the "Montshire Museum", a fun children's museum that we have yearly passes at. Maddie has gotten a little jealous as of late, of the amount of time that the boys have spent at the museum in comparison to her. We tend to go there while she is either at gymnastics or school or friends houses. I knew that during break this would be a great time to take her there. I wasn't sure if the children would get bored quickly since we have been so much, but luckily I was wrong. They have a really fun new exhibit set up about how people make things. My kids were in heaven and could have stayed much longer than the 2-3 hours we were there.
They were able to make parachutes out of plastic, strings, tape, index cards and pennies. They even got to test them out by sending them over the banister to the first story. They also spent a long time making spoons, foot prints, and other small creations out of wax, made die-cut paper boxes, die-cut 3D horses, and molded pennies. They have all been talking constantly about these fun exhibits and when they can go back again.
One of the fun new exhibits included building trolley cars and then taking them down a ramp and watching them smash back apart (pictured above). Eli loved it and probably built his 5-6 times in a row
