The Strong Museum of Play

We went to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester on Friday. It was an incredible place. There were so many neat hands on thing for all of the children. Everyone had a really great time. Dani wants to go back for her birthday she had so much fun. This is a really long post, so enjoy. Jeremiah had fun trying out this rock climbing wall. Dani, much like her Mother, could not even get on the wall. Poor thing.

One of those rooms where the children became as tall as Mommy. I am afraid that this picture will be reality in a few years.
Is this a dream or a nightmare???? My children have mutiplied!!!! This was called the Kid Kaleidoscope.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
One my favorite places was the child sized Wegman's that was there. The kids were allowed to go in and shop for five items. Then they became the cashiers and scanned everything and printed out a receipt. Then they became stock boys and put everything away. It was all fake food, but some of the best looking fake food I have ever seen. Jeremiah enjoyed weighing all the meat and DaniRae was intent on finding a pizza to pull out of the brick oven to buy.

And.....AnaGrace goes for her third box of fudge pops. I think she looks a little guilty.
This was Jeremiah's favorite activity. He got to run the camera, the light board and the sound while other children dresse up and put on the show. This happens to be DaniRae dancing, but Jeremiah sat there and did it for anyone who walked up.
This was DaniRae's favorite part. A room that showed what it would have been like if she lived one hundred years ago. She loved this room and could have played here for hours. I was really impressed with how hands out and play oriented this whole museum was.

Queen DaniRae awaits her ride to the royal ball.
There were lots of places to pretend play which was really up Dani's alley.
Watch out, Uncle Joel and Pah-Pah.....I think you have competition. Maybe in a few years.
My three happy, but very tired children at the end of the day. They all fell asleep on the way back to Uncle Joel and Aunt Anna's. AnaGrace barely lasted 1 minute in the van before she was sound asleep. It was great fun though.
