Rochester Rocks

 We road-tripped to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester on Saturday.  It was awesome!  We didn't even see the whole thing, but we spent all afternoon there.  And it was closer than we expected -- just a little over a hour from our house.

The boys loved the climbing wall, and the display that turned them into Lego figures.  Mike was pretty excited that the special exhibit was about driving (video) games that you could play.  :)  Matthew, of course, wanted to do an art project at the art area.

The boys also had fun at the animal vet area.  James liked the big version of Operation (taking out the plastic pieces without touching the edges), and loudly announced to Mike, "I didn't get electrocuted!"  Matthew liked the place where you could scan your stuffed animal.  It had messages like, "Check your animal's fur."  As the last thing, he scanned his dragon that he got from the gift shop, and he was delighted that it said, "Your animal is just fine!"

The merry-go-round had one cart that spins around like on a teacup ride -- of course the boys wanted to go on that one, and spun themselves dizzy.  :)
