After the Science Museum we went across the way to the History Museum for some more fun! We started in the store (I love museum stores) where the kids were actually encouraged to try things on...surprising and fun!
this nut thought it was HILARIOUS that she could touch everything!
they were able to learn about different wars and time periods
through the clothing!
picking out sweet treats!
Next up we headed to the Pirate exhibit which was very interesting for us grown ups and neat for the kids too. They covered all different time periods and the kids were able to correlate different facts with their History (and had fun doing it!)
making their own virtual pirate flags
my silly pirate!
they BEGGED me to take their picture in front of this car..too funny!
After the pirates we went upstairs to see the Native American artifacts and the kids got to mold and shape clay into 'masks' AND sit in a canoe replica that was simply amazing! The kids couldn't believe that you could carve a canoe out of a tree without modern tools.
We walked through the NC Sports hall of fame area (and wondered why Michael Jordan wasn't listed in the basketball area), checked out Barbies throughout the years, and some old cars (LOVE those).
We had no idea the kids would love the museum as much as they did...it was such a fun day together!
