Our Trip- part 2- 'the museum'





Hi guys, and here we go!! A huge and I mean huge endorsement for the Exploration Place in PG. for anyone who has kids (or is one at heart), this IS the place to go. We walked in to have Gabe exclaim "Whoa!!" and look up to see a huge 'longneck'!! After aweing over the dino bones, we moved in the kid area. Full of hands on activities for the kids.


Here they are, digging for and uncovering dino bones for themselves in an indoor sandbox!!



And here is Gabe in the Jaws of a Dino!!

And Emmie at one of the play staions..



And Gabe wearing all of his internal organs!!


There is so much more (I'll let Ry post some) and THEN we went upstairs!! I thought it would be all exhibits but guess what?? It was all hands on too. You could make dino tracings, hold bugs, put together a human body with all it's organs (a model, of course) and on and on. I am soooo impressed.

For those of you who are local, head down to our museum here and pick up an inter-museum pass for 15 bucks a family. You can use it at exploration place and many other museums, but even for the Place, it is worth it as admission runs 20 bucks a family for one visit!! This pass is for a year!!!! Go Go Go!!

Hugs to all, Char

Yes it is AWESOME!!! We love it too...we discovered it while we were "living" in PG waiting for Faith to come! It's great and in the summer they often have events outside...it's great! Oh and there's a spray park just behind there that's great for hot summer days too! I'm glad you guys had a good family time! It's so awesome to see you guys enjoying time together!
