Another place we visited while in Lancaster County was called the “Hands on House”. This place was amazing. I wish there was one near our house because I would take Adam and Luke there all the time. They had a construction area where you could play with all sorts of vehicles and even load and unload big “rocks” (they were made out of black foam), there was a face painting area (we did not partake in this) where you could paint your own face, there was a pretend grocery store, a room full of dress up clothes, a fishing pond, a machine shop, a farm, and two tables full of Mr. Potato Heads (and accessories) to play with.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that was just some of the inside. The outside was just as fun. There was a huge playground, a garden, a rock wall, and a giant sandbox full of toys. It was\u00a0educational\u00a0too. Each of the exhibits had a way of sneaking in a little lesson. For example in the fishing area you had to measure each fish you caught to see if it was a “keeper” or needed to be tossed back in the water. Adam was a little bit too young for a lot of the lessons, but that didn’t stop him from having a fantastic time. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was awesome.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Adam really wanted to talk to that little girl, and she was not at all interested in him. He must have went up to her 12 times and said, “Hi, I Adam”, and finally she yelled, “I already heard you!!”. Poor Adam. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
