George Washington Carver Museum

 Jonathan and Kristy live about an hour from a very fun little museum.  We took all the kids out one day.  (Kristy and her 5 children, me with my 5, and Miranda with her 3.) We were quite the procession!  The museum was all about George Washington Carver.  I was familiar with his name but had no idea why he was famous.  He was a very cool guy.  He came up with a ton of different ways to use peanuts, and I was very disappointed that they did not include samples.  Like, how do peanuts result in a cherry punch?!  Or laundry soap?!  I wanted to know these things.

There was also a mile walking loop where you could tour where he grew up. It was very pretty and the kids were thrilled to race along and play, but the weather was dark and threatening and I was stressed about being caught out in a thunderstorm.  Joke was on me, as the angry clouds galloped by and ir only rained a little bit.... as we were leaving!

The nature hike was lovely.

 All th kids had to climb up and pose on this stature of George.

Rylee was delighted to have a fuzzy caterpillar friend.

Delaney and statue George.  Best buds.

Yep, if there is a tree, it must be climbed!

Rylee needed a boost and did not stay up very long.
