Something for everyone

We were up in Eagle River today so we spent a few hours at the Children's Museum. I knew Gabe would love it, and he did--water to splash, a grocery cart to drive, a drum to bang, cranberries to sort.

I wasn't sure how his older brothers would do. Ten and twelve-year-olds aren't usually as thrilled with this place as the young ones. They did fine--crutches to balance on, wheelchairs to race, and my favorite: they went to the dress up room, came out dressed as bandits, and held up the cashier in the play store.

That's awesome! It's funny how the older kids love to play with the baby toys when they haven't seen them for awhile! And after the picture of bowling with marbles, I think your kids can find anything to do anywhere!:)
