Pittsburgh Children's Museum




After a long drive to Pittsburgh in the morning, we headed to the Children's Museum in the afternoon. There was so much to do and see. The highlight for Nathan and me was Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. It was nice to see our kids enjoying the show we grew up watching. Jacob got to try on Mr. Roger's sweater and Ellie liked making the trolley go back and forth on the track. They were also able to play with the puppets that made the Neighborhood of Make Believe come alive. The water area was a big hit with Jacob and Ellie. Jacob and Papaw spent lots of time connecting pipes to change the direction of water while Ellie was content to play by herself dumping bucket after bucket into a waterwheel. By the time we left, both kids were totally soaked and in need a new clothes. We headed back to the hotel to change and then enjoyed dinner at Max and Erma's.
