Like this one, who was made by an artist from the same town I grew up, Naperville. And it was interesting to learn the history of postcards, and what a novelty they used to be. There are some postcards worth over $35,000.
Who knew?
In the Animal Architects exhibit, they learned how animals instinctively know how and where to build the best homes.
Discovering a beaver dam.
Peeking out of a ground hog's burrow.
Little froggie face.
Birdies in a nest.
We had just about the entire museum to ourselves, so when this dramatic playroom was found empty, the girls immediately staged a performance.
Running, skipping, dancing...
Sorry so blurry, they were moving around too quickly.
Animal puppets.
I'm not exactly sure why, but I fell in love with this photo.
The picture Kamele is taking above.
By the pyramids.
She was so proud of all these puzzles she put together.
Alyssa posing with Paul Bunyan. When the girls turned the corner and this huge guy was standing there, Emma shouted, "Whoa, it's Big Jim!" Not sure who she was confusing him with, but it was cute.
Once we started talking about Babe, his blue ox, she seemed to remember Paul better.
The girls loved this little museum, Emma kept saying it was her favorite museum, and we've been to lots of good ones! This sign was up in their "history of Wauconda, Illinois section. I wasn't sure what it was an advertisement for it, but it was a little funny.

you have so many cool museums in your area! that's the advantage to having states that are so close to each other in the midwest. I think I just need to get online and do some research to see what else is in our area. The museums in our area seem to be much more technology based then historical.
