Rosy was here this week and Friday found us restless and ready to roll. We had been thinking of an overnight trip to Maine, or a day trip to the beach, or something, but timing and weather and ambition failed us, so when Friday arrived we had the desire to go but no real plans. Sometimes that’s the best way! It was a chilly day, so we headed first to the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover. We’ve never been there, but I have a museum pass that gets us into many different museums and that’s one of them so I figured it would be a good first stop. <\/p>\n

The museum was small, but it had a some fun exhibits and it was perfect for our day trip. <\/p>\n

\"knex\"<\/a>

They had a huge K’nex contraption that carried plastic balls around. It was fascinating to watch.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"gears\"<\/a>

The gears are turning.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"masks\"<\/a>

Me and Eve wearing African masks.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"pin<\/a>

A 5′ tall pin-board. Tons of fun!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"pin<\/a>

Unfortunately they had a plexiglass panel in front of it, which made it difficult to take pictures. :\/<\/p><\/div>\n

\"sub<\/a>

Eve took a nap on a submarine.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"lights\"<\/a>

This exhibit was neat. Just by touching the wooden pieces on the wall you completed electrical circuits that light up the lights on the other wall.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"pin<\/a>

This is the back of the pin board.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"pin<\/a>

Lex from the front.<\/p><\/div>\n

I tried to make a video of it because it’s cool to watch, but unfortunately the plexiglass made it hard to see. If you watch this in full-screen you can mostly see Lex coming through. <\/p>\n
