Tree House Museum

"The future of the world is in very small hands."
~ Ellen Galinsky

 Saturday, January 28 we went to the Tree House Museum as part of Ashton's birthday celebration.  What a terrific place for children and families.  There are lots of fun toys to play with like the giant foam and vinyl blocks above.  Children can create all kinds of fun things out of this train. There are great cultural exhibits from around the world, with hands on toys, activities and books to read.

 The toys are all sturdy, and made for learning "hands on style."

 Along with these great building toys, they also had a "stage" where children could dress up as knights and ladies and perform in a play. 
Hunter and Ashton building a house out of legos.
 We spent lots of time in the legos section.  Other children come and add their blocks and ideas and the house just kept growing and changing.

 The last time Ashton and Hunter went to the museum, they went to see the sword, but alas, it was gone.  Ashton wondered, "What lucky little boy had been able to pull out the sword and become King?"  They went to play and on their way back, the sword was there again.  Ashton went up to try and pull it out and behold, out it came!  Brittany said the amazement and joy on his face was delightful to see.  So he found out what lucky little boy had become the King!
