Another highlight of going to Aunt Jen and Uncle Tom's is going to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester. It is a huge museum designed for kids to play and and have lots of fun. It would be considered like a Discovery Center. They have a large Wegmans grocery store where the kids can grab a shopping cart and shop til they drop. Then they have cash registers set up so that they actually scan the items and print a receipt. That is the girls favorite part of the whole museum. They also added this year a two whole rooms with just things from the Clifford story books and the Berenstain Bears books. The girls enjoyed playing like they were Farmer Ben running his farm and fruit stand. They also enjoyed selling mama bears quilts. We then took pics with Clifford and all his buddies. The girls also enjoy the room that is set up to be back in the old days. They cooked for Uncle Tom and Aunt Jen and they ironed. I like it because it gives them a hands on feel to see what it was like in the old days when they had very little. They were amazed at the stove and the iron. The other section that the girls always enjoy is the room where you are on Sesame Street. There they can sit in Big Birds nest, count with The Count, and play with Elmo. Here are a few of the pics I got at the museum. I hope you enjoy.
