The fire engine is one of the favorite things to see. Good thing it's at the entrance because we usually spend time on it when we first get there and then again right before we leave.
Who wouldn't be excited about dressing up in a fire fighting outfit complete with jacket and hat? Zach loved being a fire fighter!
This was one of the few pictures I got with all the kids together. This little bridge was so cute - they even had a little pond painted on the ground underneath it complete with little fish swimming in it.
I love the fun picture with the kids in this boat. The little wave is so cute. There's also a fishing net where they can pull in some fish.
The jungle area was fun with all the big stuffed animals. Zach loved the big gorilla and ...
Hailey loved the big giraffe.
One of the new areas since we had been there last was the barn/rodeo area. We spent so much time here riding the horses and bulls and dressing like cowboys and cowgirls. They had a cute rodeo background painted on the wall and it really looks realistic.
Zach was so cute dressed as a rodeo clown and when he rode the horse, he kept waving his hat in the air and yelling "YAHOO!"
Can you imagine what this country would be like if these little ones were president? The thought just makes me laugh. The oval office area of the museum was very realistic and the kids thought it was great to sit in the big chair behind the desk.
One of the funniest stories about our visit was this arch made of blocks. Kylie (bless her heart) decided to help the older boys put the arch together. Once they got it done, the two younger ones thought it would be hilarious to knock it over. And over. And over. And over. After about 5 or 6 times of this happening, the older boys got smart and corraled the younger ones so that they would leave it standing. It was quite funny to watch and poor Aunt Awa was really tired by the time she sat back down by us.
Another favorite area is the medieval section. They have clothes to dress up in and a throne area for them to pretend to be queen and king. Here's our little princess all dressed up in her princess outfit and crown. It was darling on her and she loved every second of wearing it.
They also had a little stage where the kids could "perform" in their costumes. Here's our princess surrounded by the knight and king. Aren't they cute?
Lastly was the doll house room. The boys weren't very excited about this room with a bunch of dolls and paperdolls. So while Nana and Aunt Michelle took the boys back to the fire engine, Aunt Awa stayed with Hailey to color some paperdolls to take home.
We've decided that the Treehouse Museum is definitely one of our favorite places to visit. We almost didn't make it this year and we're so glad we were able to fit it in. Thanks Nana, Aunt Awa, Aunt Shell, Ashy, and Brans for going with us - we had a blast!

Cute pictures. It was a lot of fun. I can't believe how cute the giraffe picture with Hailey turned out....after how many tries to get that one?? Ha ha. You should have seen the 3 yr old's faces when they were getting ready to push the arch down....it was hilarious to see and hear them plan it all out between the two of them. Too cute! And who really can get mad at them??
So fun, I have been wanting to take my kids there. We haven't been since Jake was little.
Every time I read your blog I am adding to my list of "places to visit". My son is just starting to get old enough to enjoy & appreciate these types of things -- I can't wait to try them out! :)
