We went to the Heinz History Center with some random moms from a facebook group called Pittsburgh Moms Club. It was very much out of my comfort zone, but I have a membership that is expiring and there are always moms looking for fun places to go, so I thought, why the heck not.
Here are the 3 big kids on an old Kennywood Racer Car. Attison immediately tried to crawl over the seat backwards, the girl tried to sit on the floor of the front seat and the other boy was 3 so he was kind of able to follow directions, he sat there and smiled for the longest amount of time.
Here is how baby D enjoyed most of the museum.
Here is A playing on the train table that is designed like The Point, when it used to be a rail yard.
Here we are playing in a "log cabin."
The current exhibit at the museum is Pittsburgh’s Lost Steamboat: Treasures of the Arabia.The exhibit is about a Steamboat that sunk in the Missouri River right before the river changed course. So the boat was buried in the mud. 100 years later they excavated it and almost everything was perfectly preserved in the mud, because it wasn't exposed to Oxygen. There were no human casualties when the Arabia sunk, but 1 mule drowned because he was tied to a pole. Incidentally, there were other animals on board that did survive.
For whatever reason, part of the exhibit is this drowning mule that they would like you to sit on and share your picture on social media, tagging the museum. Also, there is a 100# weight limit, so really, they want your kids to sit on the drowning mule and get their pictures taken.
Attison had the most appropriate response to the instruction of sitting on a dying animal, which we have here for your viewing pleasure.
