Think, Think, Thinkery!!

The new Children's Museum, the Thinkery, is open so we went to check it out.  
Upstairs there is a water room- the boys LOVED it!  All sorts of buckets, water wheels, cranks and tubes.  Even musical instruments played with water.  They thought it was fabulous- but they got a little wet in the process (and it was COLD outside).



 water funnel...
 water gun- check out the look of determination on that face!
 This was the Spanish house- you push the buttons to hear different phrases in English and Spanish.
(Notice the water on Brady's shirt)

 Pretend grilling
 This was one of the coolest exhibits- you build a plane and get to launch it.


 You have to crank the wheel to raise the bowling ball and then it drops and launches your plane.


 Here you can draw with melted wax- a lot of fun!  I think Brady just liked manning the controls!
All in all it was pretty cool- Brady and Ben seemed a little bored with most of the exhibits but it was still good to get out of the house on a cold winter day.
