Are you ready to be amazed?

Very rarely do we have a Saturday in the Blakely household that is free and clear of plans and obligations on the calendar.  Amazingly, today was one of those rare days!  We had a friend coming to take a look at our HVAC system at some point today, so we didn't make any formalized plans either.

But when Dave was here and gone by 9am, we had a whole day ahead of us for something fun.  I had heard great things about Amazement Square, a children's museum, in Lynchburg.  So when Josh suggested going to Lynchburg for the day, I suggested we check out the museum.  Boy are we glad we did! For $9 a person, we had hours of fun...yes, WE!  I'm pretty sure Josh and I had just as much fun as Noah! 

And the fun began before we even stepped foot inside Amazement Square.  We packed lunch and had a picnic by the river and railroad tracks right by the parking lot.

Then we got to watch a real live train go by...a truly amazing thing to Noah!

Then it was tons of fun in the four floors of exhibits at Amazement Square!

I highly suggest his place! And there is tons to keep older kids engaged too.  There's a whole climbing tower made up of tunnels, slides, ladders, zip lines and nets that spans all four floors! What a fun family day! 

What are some of your favorite family fun places?
