Morning at the Museum



Last weekend, the Grand Rapids Public Museum hosted an ethnic heritage festival which allowed us free entrance into the museum to see various artifacts, mediums, foods, clothing, etc. that make up the various ethnic cultures that help make up West Michigan.

So we got to see Dutch dancers in real wooden shoes. See traditional Bosnian dress, a booth on German history in the region, etc.


No surprise that one of Megan's favorite rooms in the whole museum ended up being the doll house room. There were dolls from various eras on display. Unfortunately for Megan, they were behind impenetrable glass that kept her hands from touching the dolls. She thought that was a cruel trick.

By far her favorite part though was the indoor merry-go-round. We both rode with her so I don't have any pictures from the ride, but trust me, she was ecstatic. However, we got a late start to the museum and after about 90 minutes, Megan was ready to head home for a nap.
