Mckinley Museum

Today I took the kids to the Mckinley Museum in Canton.  Our typical thursday music class is on break this week and the kids needed to get out.  Although it was small {you can get through the whole museum in about two hours} we enjoyed ourselves and even learned a thing or two.
 
 
TRAINS!
 
We spent forever looking at the model railroad.  Ava and Carter began begging to move on, so finally I had to pry him away from his beloved trains.
 

 
Big Train Mommy!
 
 
This is the Masoleum that is outside the museum.  I still cannot believe every single one of them made it up ALL those stairs under their own power.  Do you see the edges of the stair are made to look like little slides?  Well the kids saw older kids sliding all the way down, so of course we had to follow suit.  I must admit, it looked pretty fun.

 
Carter has been really interested in electricity.  We've been doing LOTS of reading about it, so he was excited to see the plasma globe.

MOM!!  I found a replacement for your saltine cracker tin.  Unfortunately it was in the museum...... :{

 
Goodyear shout out!
 
Another thing that I learned from this trip....Dawson and Ava are petrified of animotronic dinosaurs.  Imagine us walking up to it, then it begins to roar and move.  The two littles turn around and begin running away.  I picked Dawson up and his whole little body was shaking.  He plastered his head on my shoulder and would not move until we were well past the dino.  Good to know!
 
Fun day with my three little guys!
