A New to Us Children's Museum

On Sunday we visited a new to us children's museum in the next state over. It was a great visit, and we'll definitely be back.

The museum had a water play area. Matt wasn't too sure about some of the exhibits, but Andy was in his element. That child loves playing in any sort of water.

The museum also had lots of neat things to build with.

Building a sailboat

And there was a fun wall to play with colors using acrylic tubes, a board with holes, and lights.

Working together

Andy almost didn't want to leave this part!

Back to building...

We then made it upstairs.

The museum also featured historical moments from the state's history.

We also ate lunch at a local barbecue place which actually turned out to be quite good.

To no one's surprise, both boys were fast asleep within minutes of climbing back into the car!
