Free museum pass= fun

Girlies had been wanting to get back to the museum for some time now, and we went this afternoon.

The library allows you to check out a free pass to the Reading Public Museum, and we had taken advantage of it a few days before Abrielle was born last April. Maddie and Faith had had SO much fun looking at all of the exhibits. I thought it was going to be a little too 'boring' for them, but these girls truly love any outing. Faith especially loved the animal exhibits.

We went today on an otherwise ugly day. They had a visiting exhibit showcasing Gene London's Hollywood costume collection. It was MADE for my lovely ladies. We went up the staircase and they were all immediately in awe (including Abrie who has a fetish for ceiling fans and lights!) of the disco ball. We had to keep them from running up to each and every dress, and they would just start going on and on about how beautiful all of the "princess gowns" were. Not to mention, we've had two imaginary friends living with us for about 2 weeks now that answer to the name of 'Prince Edward' and 'Princess Giselle' (of "Enchanted" notoriety), so Maddie was showing them both all of the different gowns. It really was neat though, and there were authentic dresses from Greta Garbo, Madonna, Bette Davis, Rita Hayworth, etc etc etc.

The little children's section was absolutely awesome today, and totally up their alley. It was a dress-up section. They had costumes assortment out to wazoo, and my girlies were in heaven yet again. They had it all to themselves until closing time since there really aren't ever many people at the museum. In fact, so many of the museum personnel kept walking by and smiling and telling us how great it was to see people actually taking advantage of the costumes and the children's section. Maddie nearly cried when we had to go; she and Faith had a blast with all the beautiful princess costumes. Faith even found an adorable full Mickey costume. And, my littlest woman donned a lion mane which was precious.
