Amazement Square- the Children's Museum

We went to the children's museum in Lynchburg yesterday. We had so much fun! Everything is hands-on and interactive. To get to the 5 different stories, you could climb up tubes and slide down slides, climb nets, and go down a zip line. It was so much fun. Emily got to spend the day with her Cucas, which, I think, was her favorite part. Get ready for a picture OVERLOAD!


Lucas and Emily waited patiently while we got the tickets.


Jessica explained how we paint on the walls, not on each other!


Painting on the walls was so much fun! Emily and Lucas were mirror images here!


Emily painted over my face on the wall! She giggled as she did it- too cute!

Emmy shows off her love of music in the "band room"



Emmy and Lucas count the eggs in the hen house



Emily drives the vegetables from the "field" to the "store"



Before she milked the cow (water came out instead of milk), Emily made sure the cow liked her!



Lucas showed off his toddler cowboy skills, riding the range



Emily picked corn from the cornstalks



Balancing a ball on air is hard work



Emily and Lucas ran through a giant-sized heart in the same pattern that blood travels



I think this play house was Emily's favorite part- she didn't want to leave. She's such a "girly" girl



The giant blocks were so much fun to play with



Replication of part of the James river


Emmy and Lucas got to float boats down the river, learning about dams and canals


We had such a fun time. It was nice to have a whole building dedicated to children's learning, interaction, and play.
