Treehouse Museum Field Trip

We love that we get to do so many fun field trips this year and that we get to share the experience as a family (well, minus Dad).  Anyway, last Friday we got to go to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden.  As a school group they have a special "World Tales" (focused on Asia) that we got to be a part of.  It included stories while sitting in a Chinese Hunt and a Mongolian Hut.  Then we made a fish wind sock craft while hearing stories from Japan. It ended with the kids helping to put on a play.  I can't remember where the play was from.  I was pleased to see most of the kids participate (#5 Boy could have been a star fish but wouldn't dress up.  #6 Boy dressed up but wasn't about to go near the stage, #7 Boy played around on the floor, stage and steps just like a sea anemone).  After the "World Tales" part was over the kids had time to explore the museum.  The found a variety of fun things to do.  As we left they also gave each child a free pass back.  Just have to pay for an adult to join!  Anyway, I didn't get pictures of most of it, but couldn't help but pull out the camera during the play.  So you get treated with some of those!
