We spend the rest of the morning, lunch, and early afternoon at The Children's Museum of the Upstate in Greenville. It was WONDERFUL! We could have stayed there from open to close and the kids would have been highly entertained the entire time. 3 stories tall, everyone in the family had a corresponding wristband which the adults had to be scanned to open the doors to the cafeteria or leave through the front doors (no lost or run-away kids!), and even on a Saturday--it wasn't that busy! Must be nice to live in a small town!
Evy loved the water tablesThere were even little water proof jackets and baby seats so even littler ones could get in on the action too!
On the other side of that room, the big kid water table involved more sciency with the motion of water, and currents, and a big water wheel showing the 'power of water', but still interactive and fun for them to try to get their boats to go where they wanted them to go.
A whole room full of music makers made of random things.
Evy with the warped mirror
Evan and Brennan loved 'driving' the recycling truck. I don't have any pics of Brennan on it, so it must be on Mom's camera.
Definitely Brennan's favorite area: construction zone!
The kids would fill the wheelbarrows with fake bricks, bring them over to the conveyor belt until the conveyor belt was full, then turn the wheel as fast as they could to make the bricks drop on the other side. Fascinated so many of them for the longest time!
Big race cars!

Big race cars!Well, we were in Nascar country!
This Escher-like climbing zone was 2 stories tall
The power of the pulley
The grocery store is always a big hit!

Marian loved helping the kids put all their items back on the shelves, and was ready to take over management of the whole store.
