Back to The Walters Round 2

 Besides all the exhibits, The Walters also has a kids' center in the basement, and it's loaded with things to touch and do.

Here they have a castle shaped puppet theater with an astonishing variety of beautiful puppets.

They also have a swoon worthy dress up bin as well as racks and racks of games, books, and toys keyed to the exhibits in their collection.  Here the Zoomlians are building castles.


 Best of all, they have a corner of touchable stuff: fossils, coral, shells, alligator heads, insects (encased in plastic), replicas of Egyptian artifacts, and (our favorite) a suit of chain mail with a helmet.

Everyone had to try it!

Oob felt the helmet was enough to complete his outfit.

Klenda wore it with style.

 Choclo liked it, but it was heavy!



Leena tried the mail with the helmet, which was even heavier.  Here she is looking fierce.








Zorg was pretty serious about the whole thing.






But Mxyl wore his helmet the way he wears his fedora:  at a jaunty angle!
