Good Ol' Henry

We have season passes this year to the Henry Ford Museum. We got them with a gift card Jason had received from work, so they were free! I was hesitant at first, thinking the museum is for older children, but we found there is plenty for our younger group as well.

The first time we went we saw mostly trains and played with the Lego's .

 You can't even tell how big this train is from the pictures here...

We found a little clubhouse that the kids adored.

They loved playing with the big Lego's in the house.

We found an "auto shop" that the kids could work on cars in.

 And of course the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile, which I actually didn't get a picture of because I liked taking one of my cute hot dog instead.

 Austin couldn't control his giddiness at sitting in this train. Down below is the "moving train" on the little track set-up.

Like last time, this time when we went, that little "moving train", as he calls it, was his absolute favorite. In fact, last time, he didn't even play with the Lego's, and this time I couldn't get him to leave without much coaxing. Both times we went, he would run back and forth, squealing with delight as the trains went round and round. Then he would stop for awhile and just stare at them in awe. I was never able to get a good picture of his face because it was glued to the gate.

This time we saw the industrial part...

and a display of life through the ages. I particularly liked the display with toys that I played with, like Speak n' Spell, and and old TV featuring Ernie and Bert back in the day. Brought back memories...

We looked at the Lego displays this time, rather then just playing with them. This Lego building was so big, I couldn't even get the whole thing in the picture!

We're happy with our Ford Museum passes. Maybe some day I'll actually post about our Christmas visit here.
