An Ancient Vacuum?

Our Little Anthropologist / Archeologist?

 Looking on the local city calendar we found out that the University was doing a kids hands on day at their "museum", even better it was for free. We decided it could be fun, and if not-hey, no loss.  
It turned out to be pretty cute. They had little activities set up for different ages and Heidi Anne really enjoyed it. 
 We got there right after it opened were there for about an hour-so before lots of other people started arriving. It worked out great, she was able to do a lot of little activities and seemed to like looking at the things in cases.
Heidi Anne would ask Char "What's That?" and he would say, "That's a Navajo Blanket" or "That's a really old hammer, it's made out of stone." They would just go down the case "What's That??" "That's a mask from a long time ago-its made out of hay". 
Then came across a vacuum someone had left out, and Heidi Anne asked "What's That?" without missing a beat Char said, "Oh, Now that's an Ancient vacuum." She said "Ohhhhhh". All of the people there just busted out laughing, and one of the workers said that's exactly what her dad would have done. 
It makes me want to take her to a real museum-I have a feeling she would LOVE the Dinosaurs.
