...and finally, the last of the day 2 vacation pics.
|
This first room that we're in is basically a Green Bay Packers themed room to get all of the kids in the right frame of mind before proceeding thru the rest of the museum. This thing was an interactive screen that you would kick or throw balls at and it would score you accordingly. Here, the boys are trying to kick a soccer ball past the goalie. They also had a basketball and football game on here. |
|
This was a padded wall where you get on various Packers players uniforms and practice your own Lambeau leap. Robby did it about 20 times. |
|
This is a large mouth (on the left side of the photo) where the kids would crawl up the tongue and go thru the "digestive system" only to come down a slide - as the, uh... output, on the other end. They have all of the steps along the way listed, along with little holes where the kids could stick their faces out and have their parents tell them where they're "at", in the body. What you can't see is a gigantic toilet seat painted on the floor at the base of the slide. |
|
The next attraction, and one that Caleb was absolutely thrilled in, was the little general/grocery store. The kids would get a small grocery cart to push around and select their items. You can see a kid in the upper left portion of the photo weighing his produce. |
|
At the end, they would go up to the "check-out", which had a little crank (by Caleb's tummy) to move the items up to the cashier. The little girl currently acting as cashier was really getting into the whole thing, as was Caleb so they had a good giggle when she handed him his play money change back. |
|
While I was grocery shopping with Master Calebber, Robby and Momma went to the you-build-it-room and made this rather large cardboard structure. They had erector sets, lincoln logs, tinker toys, legos and other stuff in this area. |
|
The fire truck/station room. this is the room where we spent the most time. Driving the big truck was one thing... |
|
But this area, where you used the "water guns" (lasers) to put out a warehouse fire on five little screens in front of them. Robby was enamored with this exhibit and once we finally figured out how to put out the fire, okay, let's not lie... once we saw some other guy put out the fire and give us an example of how to do it, Rob was BENT on getting them all out, either with a helper or by himself. And he did. Many times. |
|
Obviously, the fire pole. |
|
And not to be outdone, Calebber on the fire pole. |
|
The light house had a sandox on this side of it, and a real spiral staircase up the middle of it and you could go out on the balcony on the outside once up their. Pretty elaborate toy, if you ask me. |
|
We attempted to leave after spending a good bit of time at the museum, but the boys drifted back into the packers room where Caleb practiced his tail gating skills. Robby was off practicing his Lambeau leap again and playing on the big video screen. |
|
At the end, the Schmitz Mobile Chaos Unit - Male Chapter, all did the Lambeau leap. Dad was worried about throwing his back out, but all went well and the fans obviously loved us!! |
|
Speaking of Lambeau Field, that was our next stop. Here the boys are posing in front of the Oneida Nation entry at Lambeau. |
|
Caleb found a Mickey here, like he does nearly everywhere we go. He didn't get it, much to his dismay. He did get a long sleeved Packers shirt, yellow, that he can wear to school later this fall when it gets colder. That appeased him, and was practical enough to please mom and dad as well since he doesn't have many long sleeved shirts. |
|
This is in the huge atrium area. Nope, I'm not wounded. You see, it seems that when they redid Lambeau some years back, they laid the floor in the atrium in marble to look like the field outside. It's even oriented correctly. What I was trying to determine is if it was actually life-sized. As you can tell by the hash marks behind me marking off the yards on the field, they're pretty dang accurate. People were looking at us like we're weird... |
