Off we go on an Edventure

This past year, I requested a ban on actual toys for the kids.  I know I'm mean.  But seriously, some of you did not see all these toys and such we moved.  So, Ge and Granddaddy gifted the kids with a membership to a children's museum near them.  They also gave them a bunch of toys (I'm not a Scrooge, peeps).

Well, the museum has reciprocity to several museums across the nation.  One happens to be even closer and it's one we've been to before.  We've always enjoyed it.

So, for Liam's birthday celebration, he requested a trip to Edventure.  We happily obliged.  They had a special exhibit called Snowville.  The last time we had been to that exhibit they had fake snow.  We got the kids super excited this time that there would be snow indoors.  Well, we were wrong.  No snow this time.  But the day and the evening activity (more on that later) more than made up for it.

We were super excited to see all the wonderful improvements Edventure has made to their exhibits and the kids totally enjoyed themselves!

From grocery shopping...





 To peach pickin' at the farm...

 Processing milk...

 Building things and operating "heavy" machinery...

 Scaling snowcapped mountains...
 Tubing in the "snow."
 Shooting the luge...


 Is this not the funniest picture?
 A trip to the dentist...
 Dress ups and
 Human puppets (that'd be Malachi the "puppet" in the far corner of the picture)
 And no trip is not complete without braving exploring Eddy, the two story eleven year old boy (you can climb inside him and see what he had for lunch, etc).

After our Edventure trip, our real adventures didn't end.  It was off to eat at Fudrucker's (a real treat, especially with the amazing drink machine that I didn't get a picture of) and then to...well, this post is long already and will just have to wait until tomorrow.
