After being stuck in our fairly empty home for 2 days with no mode of transportation, I was eager to get out Saturday. Our original plan was to go to this ginormous Christmas store in Frankenmuth which I thought was only 40 minutes away. Turns out it was a little over an hour away, which was just a bit too far, so that'll have to wait for another weekend.
Instead, I got on the internet and did some searching and discovered Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum! Ok, so it wasn't that marvelous. It was very crowded and loud but it did have some marvelously unique, antique coin operated machines & games. Here are some of the interesting ones I took pictures of. However, we didn't put our monies into any of these ones (especially not the peep show one, what do you take us for!?)
We actually only spent $6 in change but the kids still had a good time and had enough tickets to get a lollipop at the prize counter. Some of the highlights: All the kids loved the mini carousel, Ben & Lucy loved this super mini Ferris wheel like ride (Lucy would point to it and say "weee!"), Ben & Steven both put their money in a machine that was supposed to guarantee you a lollipop but somehow it failed Steven, and watching Ben trying to chuck a ball in for skee ball. Overall, a good time but I think going there once was quite enough :)
