Heather and I went to the Witte Museum a couple of weeks ago. I told her we were going to start throwing a couple of learning days in with our play days. She was not at all enthused when I told her we were going to the museum, but she ended up having a really great time. The first two buildings had exhibits about animals and history, and I encouraged her to read all the descriptions. Then, we got to the last building- the children's part. They really had a lot of fun toys. Here she is on a bicycle that is suspended on a cable about 2 stories high. You can see the river below. There was also a huge treehouse and a room full of science projects.
