My little sponge!

Yesterday the Local Museum had a free day where all three museums were totally free! And we ended up getting free parking as well!
We went to the children's museum first, where Hannah played in this huge ball pit. They had this tube that would suck the ball out of your hand and carry it up this tube, Hannah loved that part!
Then they had a little village where there was a kitchen, dining room, diner, post office, bank, you name it, it was there! They also had a section about kids from all over the world, she got to dress up like a girl from India with her colorful scarfs, and a ballerina with a tutu. She got to beat on some drums, and sit in a boat. She drove a bus, and met a turtle (in a tank), and some cockroaches as well!
Then we went to the Natural history and Science museum where she got to see at life size Polar bear, my brave little girl wanted to pet him! LOL! Then we saw all kinds of rocks and gems, and fossils. She got to touch what ever she was allowed to touch. Then we went into the caves (no camera allowed). She was VERY brave! She didn't mind the tight space and echoing voices, or the screeching of the bats. There were water falls everywhere, and she just stuck her little arm out to catch some water. Then we walked into the wilderness where they had all kinds of animals (fake ones, of course). She LOVED the wolf, I think she thought it was a dog that finally held still for her!
Then we went to the History Museum, which is all about our city! Hannah was pretty much out of it by this time and just watched from her stroller, but Hubby and I found all of it pretty interesting. They have a whole town set up to look like the 19th century, even a steam boat to walk on to. Hubby's favorite part was the distillery, they had the history of beer in our city. They had names up there that we still see today and some really popular ones. They also had a medicine shoppe, which I thought was really neat, they had the old time remedies in there, like cod liver oil, and lavender.
After that we went home. It was fun, and free!
Oh and my little sponge sucked up so much information, when we got home she passed out cold! LOL
Enjoy the pictures!
