A trip to the museum

Here is another post from Neil: Today Finn got a reward for doing a good job cleaning his room, putting laundry in the bin and brushing his teeth (without being asked). Lily already had her reward and chose to go swimming at the indoor swimming pool. Since my swim trunks got ripped within 15 minutes of getting in the water (thanks Finn) I am kind of relieved that we have no pictures from that event. Finn actually chose the classic trip to Playmobil Funpark, but since they are closed for the winter we went to the Deutsche Museum instead.

Here are some pictures. They really love playing with water. The first time we went there Lily got her right boot soaked (it was a cold winter day and we travelled by train) so I got to dry it with a blow-dryer. I had to smile when I saw a father today drying a wet boot...

First we got some lunch

 Then we headed down to the children's area

 The water gate was a big hit.

 This guitar needed some tuning. Finn and Lily got straight to work.

My highlight was the original WW1  submarine (are you also reminded of "Das Boot"). We also spent a long time working in the "Mathematical Cabinet" doing puzzles and playing with blocks. I looked up the solution to one puzzle that had me baffled. There is so much neat stuff there! I think that I actually enjoy going to the Museum there more than the kids do!
