Virginia War Museum

Eleanor had a day off of school one day and we decided to head down to the Virginia War Museum for "kid's day." They had some activities for kids, like a scavenger hunt, a SWAT truck, things they could try on, and a battle demonstration where they could launch grenades and shoot nerf guns at a "military display." The girls had a good time, and so did Ben. Rosie had an epic meltdown for what seemed like forever, but overall things went smoothly.

Took this picture - 1st Wolfhounds squadron! This was from Vietnam.

Ben, Jane, and Eleanor took turns launching grenades.

Overall it was a great activity for the day. The only thing I didn't really understand was that they also had a petting zoo from the SPCA inside the museum, and then a ton of people dressed up in Star Wars outfits and a real live R2-D2. I really didn't understand those parts...
