Boston Children's Museum

Recently Grammie (Matt's mom), the kids and I went to the Boston Children's Museum.(www.BostonChildrensMuseum.org). We opted to drive in instead of taking the train. Yes, Marti drove in Boston! Grammie had reserved the Library passes for us so the entrance fee was only 1/2 it's usual cost. . . .LOVE library passes!

The first thing we noticed was the sign that said "New exhibit- Wizard of Oz" Yes!!

Emma started off climbing this next thing that went up 3 stories and back down again. Garrett didn't want to do that. :) Don't blame him. It was pretty crowded.

1st the "Science Playground" where they saw live animals (yes even a snake I accidentally glimpsed), a microscopes.

The bubble room (sorry they are sideways)

The "raceway". A room with several large marble tracts that helped you calculate gravity and speed.

Emma's Favorite. The Art room. This day they were using tools Architects use.

Johnny's Workbench room. Real Saws!

In the Arthur and Friends room.

Straight from my 5 year old's mouth! Pretty good theorizing.
