Wonderful Weekend in Wonderland!

We had an amazing day on Saturday.  We took the kids to the Please Touch Museum for neighborhood toy store day http://www.neighborhoodtoystoreday.com/.  The event was organized by Debbie at http://www.mamanista.com/ & http://www.bloganthropy.org/.  It was amazing!

I had taken Faith to the museum several years ago, before they moved to the new location.  But, the new location at Memorial Hall is unbelievable.  The building is just breath taking and the model of the original fair grounds was fascinating.  There is so much more room and the exhibits are so much fun for the kids. 

We spent well over 4 hours playing and learning.  Even the baby was entertained by the visual displays throughout the museum.  Faith and Rocky were particularly fond of the Wonderland exhibit.  It was like stepping into the story!

The kids became story book characters, train conductors, doctors, construction workers, chefs, mailmen, astronauts, bus drivers and mechanics.  Their imaginations were running wild.  They rode on the carousel and learned about history. 

The museum was definitely a big hit and I can't wait to go back when Gavin is more able to interact with the exhibits.
