The Treehouse Museum

Last week Susan asked me if I wanted to go to Ogden with her. She had some doctor appointments and thought I would enjoy getting out for a day. I didn't think I would enjoy it with all the kids. But, we actually had fun. Her first appointment was at 11:00am. Me and the kids went to McDonald's for lunch and they played while we waited for Susan. When she was done we to THE TREEHOUSE MUSEUM. I thought it would be crazy keeping track of everyone, but it was so much fun. The kids could play, dress up, color,
and do all sorts of things.




Sam's favorite was the Fire engine and the music room.
The music room had so many instruments in it.
There were xylophones on the walls and bongo drums.
Mostly percussion instruments.


There was a teepee and indian clothing you could dress up in.
Halle loved the tea set. I didn't get a picture of that.
But it was her favorite.

They had story time about every half hour in a different part of the museum.
After the story you could go and make a craft about that story.

The doll collection was amazing.

Future president of the United States.

The Oval Office.

The map of the states was fun. You push a button and there were questions about each state and you had to find that state in a time period of 15 seconds. Paytan and Sam loved it.

There was so much more we didn't have time for. A school, a kitchen, wizard costumes. There was a huge tree house in the middle with a slick rock slide that was black inside. Paytan didn't dare go down at first. She finally did it though. All in all it a blast. Admission was only 5 dollars a kid and 3 for adults.

Susan had her second appointment and 3:00 and after we went to Morgan to Aunt Gwen's to swim. I though it turned out to be a great daycation.

I can't believe we lived in Ogden for two years and never went there! Of course, I guess it's a lot more fun if you're either (a) a kid or (b) have a kid. Eh! Next time you're in Ogden you should take them to the dinosaur park there at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. That's fun, too.
