Hello, I am Nanke. Mom and dad gave me a chance to write for the blog, so I’d like to share my experience at the Darling Museum.
We left Zoa-lene and Zia-lee, our friends’ place, saddened, knowing it was very windy back home. Mom and dad searched for something to do on Google maps, but sadly we found non. We were on our way home when suddenly dad remembered mom talking about a place in Darling. “Let’s go there,” said dad. “Yes, yes”, I replied even without knowing what or where it was. I was just happy to know we were not going home.
I was taking a nap on our way to Darling when I heard Google say, “your destination is on your right.” The excitement woke me up, but then I saw that we were at a Museum and thought, how much fun can walking through a Museum be. To top it off, we’re not allowed to touch anything. When mom returned, she said: “Would you like to go on a mystery trail?” I answered excitedly: “Yes, please, mom.”
I walked through the Museum and was surprised to find out there were old phones and wedding dresses to play with. It was fun to play with things in the Museum and figure out how it works. It was hot when we started with the mystery, but we still had great fun. We received a ticket and a clue to find a treasure chest. There was a puzzle for the next task, and the third task needed some thinking. We learned a couple of new things, like a pastor’s house is a rectory.
On our way through the town, busy with the Mystery trail, we almost walked right past one of the tasks. Thank goodness all the clues were painted red, and Ruhan was awake. I then found the magic flower, not a real one, but it did have a riddle. Dad helped me figure it out. When we almost finished the mystery trail, dad bought us something to drink.
This was a fresh walk for the day, and we learnt a lot. The day included math, searching and fun. Just when we got tired, we finished the trail. Afterwards, we had our last look through the Museum, and mom helped me dress up the old wedding dress. I looked like a real princess. Even now, I want to go back for more fun.
I’ve learnt not to judge a book by its cover. If you are excited, you have to keep being excited. It was so much fun touching and handling some very old things. I learnt that God tests you when you don’t expect it, and it is not ok to want to go back now that you’re there.
