M is for ....

Memorial, Museum, Movie, and Mystery Minerals! First we headed to the Renton Historical Museum. Kipp and I lived in Renton for 9 years, drove by this a million times, but never went there. So off we went. Turns out that there is a memorial to veterans right next to it now, so we looked at that first. Then we went over to the museum. Renton has been around for about 100 years apparently, and they had lots of historical items on diplay, inlcuding info on the indians that lived her first. It's pretty small, but they had a lot of information. There were also some hands on crafts, and the kids were able to make a hat that the indians used to wear. They also had Flight Simulator game which Kyler enjoyed in honor of Boeing. Did I mention that the first Wed of the month happens to be free? What a great deal!

The kids picked a movie to watch in the afternoon (they should have picked Mulan or Monster's Inc, but chose Peter Pan).

And lastly, Ilea and Kyler are working on Mystery Minerals that Ilea got for Christmas. It's a clay ball with 14 minerals and fossils in it. Ilea found some pyrite already, and Kyler is taking a turn working on it now. We'll see if they get the rest out. Turned out to be a big M day. Tomorrow, N, is going to be Kyler's favorite....
