Iowa City Children's Museum


Getting drum lessons from daddy 


 The model train room - a big favorite



 Family picture - third attempt...why is this so hard?


The last stop on our Kidapalooza tour was the Children's Museum.  We definitely got our money's worth! The kids absolutely loved it. Norah loved the theatre room, where kids dress up and put on plays, and the parents sit in the audience. Finn and Sully liked the aviation room, where they got to sit in model planes and even did a flight simulation. However, the big winner was - surprise, the train room, where there was a model electric train set of Iowa City, complete with steam and sound effects. They even had a model Hawkeye Express going from the mall to Kinnick Stadium.  I tried to get a picture of Finn, but he wouldn't turn away from the trains long enough to look at the camera. We finished the day with group ice cream cones, a third try for a family picture - (we're making small progress, I guess), and a ride on the carousel. We all ate too much junk food, stayed up way too late, and came home exhausted.  I'm pretty sure those are the hallmarks of a good family trip.
