Children's Museum of Alamance

Children's museums are kind of a pricy family outing, but occasionally we like to indulge. I had heard about the Children's Museum of Alamance and I was waiting for a day when Ryan could come with us because taking three kids by myself was a little intimidating. We were finally able to go on Martin Luther King Day and had a great time. It's always fun to see what creative ideas the different children's museums come up with.

Trying out an old fire truck:

Ann Marie's favorite part by far was taking care of the babies in the hospital section. She would have been happy to spend the entire time wearing nurse's scrubs and pushing the babies around in the stroller.

Painting on glass? What's not to love? Every once in a while workers would close off the area and spray it all down with soap and water, which was also fascinating.

Kevin played a long game of delivering mail all over the children's museum. It was so cute.

Heidi enjoyed working as a cook/waitress in the restaurant kitchen.

They had this cool beanstalk that the kids could climb. Can you find Kevin?

We finally gave in and let Ann Marie paint, which she loved. She did get paint on her clothes when we were trying to wash her off, but it all came off easily in the washing machine.

Heidi took a turn being a mail lady.

Other fun activities included the theater area with dress-up clothes and puppets, the farm/grocery stand, and the hospital/dentist office area.
