National Building Museum

The five of us spend Saturday afternoon at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.  The entire museum was hands-on exhibits for kids to learn how to build various things.  The volunteers couldn't have been nicer or more patient and Will had a blast.

First, he learned about woodworking and he got to use two different planes.


Then he did some spackling with Mom.


Will talked all day about sitting in a Bobcat but when the big moment came, he wanted Daddy to sit with him.  Daddy was all too happy to oblige.


Will even got to lay some mortar and place a few bricks.  Mommy might have helped a bit.


Will also really liked fitting pipes.  He bellied up to the tower that kids were building with pipe parts and he added his token couple of pieces.  He really liked this wrench but it weighed almost as much as he does so it didn't get much action.
