Back Tracking...Witte Museum

The Witte Museum is one that I'd heard about, but never made it to, until a few weeks ago. The great thing is on Tuesdays from 3-close it's FREE! But I haven't been brave enough to take all the kids by myself. So it was a last minute activity when Dave got out of training early one Tuesday in April. The main part was "museumy" for lack of a real term. Not totally exciting to the kids, but it was kid friendly, and they were allowed to touch things. But I think I speak for all of them when I say the best part was the "Tree House" out back. It was a multi-level building with all sorts of FUN hands on kid level stuff.

Addy posing with the Triceratops...side note she has been REALLY into Dino's lately. Her favorite is the triceratops, so she was really excited to see this in the front lobby of the museum!

The boys attempting to build a log cabin.

making noise. The third floor of the tree house was the sound level with all sorts of things for the kids to make "music" on. This was a colored pipe system that they hit with flip flops. Very fun!

Addy playing at the water works.

This was the coolest looking thing. It was called the sky ride. It was a bike on a big cable wire that you rode up in the sky. There was a safety net underneath, and they harnessed you up as an extra safety. Jimmy was the only one tall enough, and he got all harnessed and on the bike...but then he "wigged out" and came back down. So no pictures of the actual ride. Maybe next time. Addy wanted to go so BAD but she wasn't tall enough. She went back like 5 times to see if she had gotten taller.

Playing with pulleys.

All and all a very FUN adventure. One I would recommend to all! Especially on Tuesday's when it's free!!!
