Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

November 25, 2010 By 11 Comments

As I mentioned the other day, the boys and I visited the Louisiana Children’s Museum while we were down that way in early October.

The special exhibit we were excited to see was a traveling one for Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.

We LOVE Mister Rogers.  When we started homeschooling, watching Mr. Rogers was a post lunch activity.  One disappointment for moving to Maryland was discovering that show was not on the local PBS station.  (It is on up here in Alaska once a week and I’ve had the DVR record a few so we can introduce Little J to the show.)

As I want to keep this particular post focused just on that one exhibit, I’ll be posting the rest of our visit in a third post within the next few days.

    Love Mr Rogers-watched him all the time as a kid. I will be your neighbor, but only if I get to feed the fish and change my sweater each time! :0)

      Thanks for the stumble. My older boys were thrilled to see parts of the set as they loved watching Mr. Rogers when they were younger.

      TIna,

      Thanks for the follow and stumble. I would have loved meeting Mr. Rogers in person as well. He did a wonderful job making you feel like his show was a visit to his neighborhood.

    My kids would love that! Especially my daughter. I’ve really tried to incorporate the programs I grew up watching into their lives and I loved Mr. Rogers.
