We had planned to visit an orchard at the end of October near St. Louis. But, I didn't realize that late in the season the orchard's would no longer be offering pick your own apples. So, we ended up making an alternate plan and went to The Magic House. It was amazing and there was so much to see we could go back today and there would still be plenty of things to do! Due to Halloween weekend the Magic House opened during the morning which made it the perfect day to visit. My friend Laurie Cooper and her two girls went with us.
Here the girls are checking out interactive musical instruments:
Titus & Charlotte I got a lot of questions about how close in age they were. They are actually only about 6 months apart but lots of people thought they were both mine.
Faith & Savannah check out the ABC boxes.
The girls loved an exhibit on saving the planet. It was a very creative exhibit on reducing, reusing, recycling. Here the girls are picking locally grown apples for the farmer's market.

They loved the sand.
and the Water.
There is a whole town including a grocery store, hospital, car repair shop, bank, restaurant, and more. We didn't even visit all of it!

Grace fixing a car....looks like her daddy!
Grace & Faith loved the baby nursery at the hospital. I thought it was fun Grace choose a baby of a different ethnicity to play with. (future brother or sister.....maybe)

They loved the bubble area.
Overall it was a great day- I am looking forward to going back as a family in the future!
