Field Trip

Hey everyone!

Last Thursday, the home schoolers of our church, had their

field trip day and we were invited to go along with them.

The older kids went to a museum in Gastonia and the

younger kids went to the KidSenses Museum in

Rutherfordton, NC. There everything was

hands on and the kids really loved it.

When we first walked in the museum there was a

play firestation complete with fire truck and fire pole.

At one time it seemed like everyone wanted to climb

on top of the fire truck to see what's on top.

The KidSenses Cafe

The kids enjoyed making us food.

Cameron getting me some tea.

Stuffy

For out little workshop time there was a giant doll

that they rolled out and we learned about what's

inside our body.

Cameron and some of the kids were all ready to dress up

and play on stage then just then they rolled out Stuffy.

The large intestine

We were talking about the heart, so everyone had to find their heartbeat.

Harrison couldn't find his.

The lungs

Cameron holding the esophogus.

He still didn't want to take off his cape.

The Bubble Room

There was this huge room that had a lot of things

that you could do with bubbles.

After our time in the museum we walked across the

street to Doc's Ice Cream shop.

Cameron had a dream cicle cone and I had a chocolate waffle cone.

Museums !!! ...Museums !!!

Today we went back to the KidSenses Museum in Rutherfordton

when we knew it would be open. lol

The place was really neat. Cameron had a ball touching and doing everything!
The first thing you come to is this big o'l red fire truck and fire pole.

Your little ones can go and do their own grocery shopping...

and then check their stuff out too. The cash register

really works and so does the scanner on the counter.

Down stairs is the kids cafe.

Cameron loves cooking as it is, so he really liked this part.

All that, and this is what he made for me to eat. LOL

Well, he did bring me a drink too.

The 'bubble' room.

It had all kinds of things that you can do with bubbles.

Cameron inside a bubble!

Cameron pretending to be a dentist in this

pretend dentist office.

I think that the fire station area was the favorie.

Then after lunch, we were off to the Schiele Museum in Gastonia.
Do you remember the movie "Night at the Museum"?

Cameron kept pretending to throw a bone then he would say

'it's not working'. I think he wanted to see the T-Rex chase a bone. LOL

Even though I've been here a hundred times, Cameron had

a ball. The whole time he was like "Oooooh, look at this!...Oooo look at that!"

This alligator was swiming around alot.

The museum added a touch and feel pool since

the last time I had been there.

And Cameron had to stick his head in the

crocidile's mouth before we left. =o)
