Today we visited the children's museum in Wichita Kansas. This was the best children's museum that I have seen. And the visiting exhibit..... Wait for it....STAR WARS!!!!! From original props to interactive droid
programming to friendly Tuscan Raiders fun was had by all. Elyse and Paige loved the Chubacca costumes. Doug thought the Yoda puppet was cool. Dalton is quite the droid engineer. I think he could have stayed there all day.
The museum also had an entire castle complete with catapults, a moat, coat of arms design, dress up, puppet show.... And more.
They had an entire room full of manipulative puzzles. It was great to watch the kids use their problem solving skills. Brooke really surprised me. She obviously gets her spacial reasoning from Doug. I loved watching him challenge the kids to see things differently to solve the puzzles. He really is brilliant.
I think Doug and I are getting tired because we both thought a hotel sounded great. We ordered in from a great BBQ restaurant, swam and the kids watched a Netflix movie on Paige's laptop. Tomorrow just driving home. It's been a great trip but I miss our family and am ready to be home!
Oh, the tornado pictures are for Grace. When she heard we were in Kansas she was worried about the tornadoes. While I was driving Doug sent pictures from the Internet describing the tornado we were "experiencing". No worries, we are all safe and sound.
I don't know if you can tell by the pictures but Elyse LOVED the turtles; so much that she was compelled to kiss them!
