Jonathan made the kids' capes. Goofy kids. Love them!
Our first visit was to the Asia Institute Crane House. The kids mostly enjoyed trying on some costumes and coloring a few pictures. When they started making paper airplanes in the origami area, it was time to move on to our next stop...
The Filson Historical Society. This mansion was built in 1905 and at the time, it was the most expensive home in our city. It's got some really neat details inside. The kids called it the "fancy house". It is mostly a historical library with a lot of books and portraits. Not exactly a toddler/Preschool-friendly place. We quickly moved on to our last stop...
The American Printing House for the Blind is a very interesting place. The kids enjoyed typing on braille typewriters. We also took a tour of the factory, museum, and studio. The girls and I had just gone in October, but we learned more this time. I think you could go frequently and see//learn something new. On our tour of the proofreading area, a blind woman read to us in braille. The kids saw a couple of blind people using canes to walk through the facility. We also got to see two different "talking books" (audio books) being taped. Really cool.
I had promised the kids a treat if they behaved. They did (other than one minor pinching incident). Yum!
Most of us had some toppings on our frozen yogurt. Kat enjoyed a little frozen yogurt with her toppings.
Sometimes ice cream requires two spoons.
Lucy moved on to eating the kids' ice cream after she finished hers.
