Field Tripping: Beehive House & Church History Museum

The highlights, courtesy of my kids: 

Train & beehives carved into bannister are cool

Books are cool

Bees everywhere!

It was cold and they should have listened to their mom and worn warmer clothes. What? No one said that? Oh.

Ships are cool

Pretending to be on a ship is cool

Playing is fun

And I will kick and scream and pout and cry and fuss all the way to car if you take me away from playing and fun (Miss Sophie)
