Boston Day 5: Childrens Museum, Aubrey, and Mikes' again

We spent day 5 at the Boston Children's Museum. What a cool place. We have been to several hands on children's museums but none of this size and caliber. It was HUGE and had so much to do. So much that we did not get through half of it.

The bubble room was a HIT for Zachary. We spent a lot of our time in there.

This was a cool exhibit. The entire exhibit was focused around individuals with special needs. They had an area to see what it would be like to be in a wheelchair, an area to see what it would be like being blind and hearing impaired, and an area to practice for the Special Olympics. This bike Zachary is using is similar to what a paraplegic would use in the Olympics.
Here is Z with a pretend seeing eye dog.
This was a hands on room centered around trains. Z loved this room!

Zachary loved this part of the museum too. Who would have thought a weekly task such as filling up a car with gas would have been so cool.

Zachary sawing wood in the Children's Museum workshop. Yes he was supervised and yes, that is a real saw.
We had dinner in the North End. Kevin and I could not get enough of the Italian village. Miss Aubrey joined us after a long flight from California. We were so glad we got to see her.
One final trip to Mike Pastries after a yummy dinner. Just what we needed more calories!

At the end of the night we said GOODBYE to Karen, Terry, and Aubrey. It was sad to say goodbye because they took such good care of us on our visit. We had a wonderful time and were so appreciative that they took vacaction days from work to entertain us in the big city of Boston. Thank you guys!
