Putnam Museum and Uncle Ross

Uncle Ross is a big part of Grandma Camp. He's been in his own house for a year now -- and, as far as I can tell, he loves his job as a R.N. in the Birth Center. sighting at least once But his schedule is crazy...he usually works 8 days in a row, and almost always second shift...

But, when I do manage to arrange an Uncle Ross sighting, both kids are delighted. There is nobody they'd rather spend time with...

Sometimes, we meet Ross at a local park -- and he pushes them on the swing, or spins them on the Merry-go-round.  On this day, he met us at the Putnam Museum -- which has a wonderful area for children's scientific hands-on activities.

Lilly could pull herself up...

But Warren needed some help from Uncle Ross.

There are a ton of hands-on building activities...make a paper rocket and launch it with a blast of air...so many well-designed children's activities.

This is a laser musical instrument.

This is climbing in a rowboat...lol...

With the 3-Dscreen, you become part of the exhibit.  We were being attacked by sharks!

It was about 100 degrees outside on this particular day...

So it was great to have an interesting place to go that was beautifully air-conditioned!!

And I have to say THANK YOU, AGAIN, SCOTT COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM. Because of their wonderful  "Free Pass" program, we had the Putnam Pass from the Princeton Library. Which was good for free admission for 2 adults and 4 children. (that would save you almost $60).
