Noyes Museum and A Playground

Saturday there was a Fall Festival at the local museum.  The kids loved it. There was so much for them to do. If we hadn't been hungry, and had other plans, we probably would've stayed longer. The first three pictures here were actually taken by the museum and posted on their page.

The kids each tried the weaving station.

Rudy found a friend from school and they walked around together for a while. Rudy and Niko both really enjoyed the woodworking station.

Outside when we first arrived, the kids drew with chalk and touched animals from the aquarium touch tank (or rather, Rudy and Jada touched the animals- Niko wanted no part of it.)

Niko's finished product.

Jada participated in a play- she was the first little pig.

There was a painting station. Niko was very precise.

Jada started out with a plan...

...but eventually decided that it was more fun to just add more colors on top of other colors.

Jada got her face painted.

The kids all helped paint dots for a "Dot Wall Art" project.

And Rudy got his face painted, too.

After the museum we took a drive for some lunch and shopping. With a playground break in between. The updated merry-go-round was definitely the kids' favorite part of it. The spun on it, and spun each other on it over and over. It's a miracle they were able to walk to the car when we left!
