I took so many pictures the first day, I needed to split them up. In the afternoon we went to the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum. I highly recommend this to anyone traveling up there! Here the kids are checking out a large model railroad. Their response to it "Mom, we want to buy that!" Save your pennies!
They had an area where kids could 'dig' for fossils.
They had the front half of a large dump truck with toy trucks to play with. The kids could get up in the driver's seat.
Here's Luke modeling the hard hats they could wear.
An apple harves simulator.
They had one room that was a grocery store. The kids could go shopping with carts. There were items to 'buy' that were real packaging.
Luke going 'shopping'.
Jack worked the cash register and they conveyor belt really worked to move the items down. At the end someone could really 'bag' the groceries.
Luke as the cashier. I guess this is a plus to having three children. They all took turns playing the parts.
They had a whole rescue personnel area which was a big hit. The kids could try on different uniforms. Here's Logan modeling.
This was the real back end of an ambulance with a fake front on it. It did have working lights though. This was Logan's favorite spot. He stayed here for quite a while.
Jack enjoyed it as well. He had me in the back as his 'patient'. He's checking out the real monitor to see how I'm doing.
This was Jack's favorite. This was a real front half to an airplane. Jack was the pilot and he let Luke and Logan be his copilots.
Jack at the controls. Whenever I asked where we were going he told me 'Disney'.
Jack played weatherman. There was a real screen that you could see yourself on tv as you talked about the weather.
This was the human body area.
The boys climbed into the eyes and realized that the eyelids moved up and down.
These were stairs to climb up the intestines and slide down the end. No, as Brad asked too, there was no butt at the end :)
And here we are finishing up the day out cold. We ran them into the ground, but they loved it. They got the Burger King crowns at lunch and wore them everytime we were in the car. Can't wait until tomorrow!
