There was an scavenger hunt for the kids to fill out, and Mallory especially loved that.\u00a0 Mostly Clara and Brenna just ran around checking out the exhibits, especially the ones where they could get in the cockpits.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170810_102021.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large

river.\u00a0 It was en route from New York to Charlotte when it crashed, so it was only fitting that it be displayed here.\u00a0 Here are the girls standing by the plane, in front of one of the life rafts that were on the plane that day.\u00a0 It was a very moving tribute.\u00a0 There was a great documentary that I insisted the little girls watch, and they were pretty enthralled with it, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bigmamasdaycamp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/20170810_123007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3305\"
