Hands-on-House Family Night

I've been wanting to visit the Hands-on-House Museum for a long time now. I was on the website this week and saw that Friday after 4:00 children are free. We didn't have any plans and figure it would be a perfect time to check it out.
After getting Tyler from his nap, I explained where we were going and he started jumping up and down and said that he dreamed about it. And then he said "Mommy you are making my dreams come true!" It was precious. It took us about 35 minutes to get there and probably every 5 minutes Tyler asked if we're there yet. When we finally reached the museum he ran right in and was thrilled to check it all out that he was practically doing his potty dancing by rocking back and forth the whole time.
The mini grocery store was really impressive. The boys went "shopping" and then Ty pretended to check out the shoppers (Matty).
One of the most fascinating exhibits for Adam was the magnetic wall where you could make a path for the ball to travel from the top to the bottom. All three boys were playing with it for a long time. I love the following pictures because they created a path and everyone is watching Daddy drop the ball....
and then following the ball all the way to the bottom. It was a successful path!
There was an egg sorter, race track, tree house, farming area with a pig (that was one of T's favorites), and a dress up area with a pirate ship. There were lots of kiddos running around the museum and a fun time for the four of us. I'm glad we found a good opportunity to go and that we were all together experiencing it for the first time.
