On Tuesday, (April 28th), we had a busy afternoon visiting the Mill City Museum and the Stone Arch Bridge. Then we picked up Zeke from work, had a quick dinner and went to the Minnesota History Center. These were the two museums that my Dad really wanted to see while he was here. We had a really fun time!

Back inside the museum to play with their many interactive displays
The favorite place for the boys was definitely the water area
Ha ha :)

Minnesota recently celebrated 150 years as a state so there was a big display celebrating people, companies and all sorts of things that have come out of Minnesota. Here Lucas and Matias are dancing to some music by Minnesota artists.
Zeke sampling some of the apple varieties developed here - our favorite is the Honeycrisp!
Playing in one of the displays titled "Our House" - it follows the many families that lived in the same house over 5o years.
Can you see Lucas' expression? Perhaps he was getting tired at our attempts at family pictures...who knows
Playing "drop the pin" or whatever it's called
Trying on some essential Minnesota gear
Ahh, gotta love the Minnesota winters - this display was devoted to talking about the winters here
