Family Museum

The weather here turned cold and rainy over the weekend, and has yet to improve.  Farming is pretty much shut down until things dry out a bit.  We decided we needed something fun to do on Monday.  Since it was my brother, Gary's, birthday, we thought it would be fun to go to Davenport and surprise him.  It worked, he was surprised.  We spent a pleasant evening and morning with them, then headed home Tuesday.  But, before we went to mom's house, we took a little side trip to the Family Museum in Bettendorf.

The Family Museum is pretty much paradise for little kids.  Geared toward the 8 and under crowd, there are multiple areas for pretend play and discovery.  My mom took Richard there when he was staying with her, but we wanted to experience it with him too.  It was loads of fun, and we could easily have spent all day there.  We definitely intend to be regular visitors!
