The Magic House

We went to a children's museum in St. Louis called The Magic House.  It was a cool museum but it was crazy crowded!!  Luckily we got in for free (free for military!!) so we didn't feel too bad about leaving a little early.  We will go back another day when it's (hopefully) not so insane.  Matthew and Anna climbed this beanstalk that went up three stories!  Here is Matthew at the top!

 Grant explores the ABCs

 Anna at the castle in the Fairy Tale exhibit.

 Anna got to try on some princess dresses there too

Matthew lifting up the wolf and letting him fall at the tale of Lon Po Po (a red riding hood story from China).

 Learning about Big Bad Wolf stories

 John having fun with Grandma

Riding in Cinderella's carriage
 
Matthew's favorite thing at the museum was the Mystery area. A secret book along the wall opened a secret door that lead to a play area.  It was pretty fun!  Matthew liked dressing up as a detective.
So we had a little bit of fun at the Magic House but didn't see even a fraction of what they have there.  We'll be going back another day...maybe during the school year.  Hopefully it won't be wall to wall people that day.  :)
