Arizona Historical Society Museum

I has taken me a while to post because I'm not quite sure I like the new format. Well, regardless, I decided to give it a go.

Last Tuesday we ventured over to the Arizona Historical Society Museum.  Before getting the pass from the library on a whim, I didn't even know this place existed.   Now that I know it does, I can say, it's really pretty cool.  We will be going back, and I think I'd be willing to pay the 5 bucks to get in (yep, that's it.  Kids under 11 are free).

 Here are a few of the pictures I took while in the museum.  My lighting was all off on most of the pictures.  The museum had signs saying to turn OFF the flash, but the pictures that turned out were actually the ones when I had my flash on.  Irony as it's best.  This is a picture of the girls standing by a wagon gun the had horses pull during the war (though I can't remember which one).

 There was a section devoted to Arizona's agriculture, and all the kiddos got to try out the tractor.  It was very neat.

 

Being a geeky engineer, I had to take a picture of a piece of wooden pipe. 

 "Hello!... Hello!"  The kids got to try out af old phone. 

 In the following picture, the kids are sitting by a picture of the entire crew on the U.S.S. Arizona.  They had a little area devoted to WWII and about the Arizona. 

Then they were off to the Vetenam...

There was so much more at this museum.  Infact, we didn't get to see it all.  It was a lot of fun.  I would reccomend it!

 Afterwards, we took all the kiddos (boys in one stroller, goofy girls in the other) for a picnic.

It was a good day!
