Adventures in Learning

Earlier in the month, we took the kids to EdVenture. There was a traveling castle exhibit we wanted to see. I was hoping it would be more like the castle set up at the Charleston Children's Museum since the kids enjoyed visiting it last year. The traveling exhibit was on a much smaller scale, but very entertaining. Danielle played with the royal puppets, harvested vegetables from the garden, gathered eggs from the chickens, pretended to cook in a giant cauldron in the royal kitchen, and shod horses in the blacksmith's shop. Afterwards, she enjoyed shopping at the grocery store scaled to her size.

While Danielle and I were milling around, Aden and his dad were investigating the giant kid exhibit. It's set up so you can crawl inside and see how the human body works. Aden investigated the brain, mouth, eyes, heart, spine, stomach, intestines, and slid down part of the colon. They wound up coming out ... yep, you guessed it. There was a big PHFFFT sound as you exited. Both kids enjoyed the music room, firetruck, and water display outside.
