A Great Day

We had so much fun at the Museum of Civilization yesterday.  We participated in a program called "Helping Hands".  We began by helping the postman find his mailbag.  In doing so, we meet the boat captain. Since the boat captain tells us that her crew is sick, we all have to use teamwork to help her do some chores.  We help to unload and sort some cargo, then in the port, we help her to fix up her house by painting, bricking and shingling (the dog house), then help to do the shopping for the ship at the market.  Once the mailbags have been found, we go and pack up the mail at various destinations throughout the Children's Museum.  Everything is so hands on, it is so much fun for them. It was a great day...a special thank you to our parent volunteers who make it all possible!
