Visiting Hogwarts

When I heard that the Harry Potter's Exhibit was coming to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago I knew Kirby and I would want to go see it. I also thought it would be fun to take Kirby's nephew Andrew and my niece Sydney. So we headed out on a fun filled day to explore the Museum of Science and Industry!!!

When we first entered the exhibit, we were greeted by the Hogwarts Sorting Hat. A select few volunteers from the crowd were chosen to wear the Sorting Hat, and both Sydney and Andrew were chosen. Sydney went first and was placed into the House of Hufflepuff. Andrew was next up and the Sorting Hat decided he was best suited for the House of Ravenclaw! Unfortunately as Kirby found out, photos were not allowed in the exhibit, so no pictures of the kids being sorted.

While we were at the Harry Potter Exhibit we also explored the rest of the Museum. Here Sydney and Andrew are pretending they are a Fireman and an Engineer from 1893.
