Science Center

Today we went to the Science Center and had a ball! There were so many things for the kids to touch, try, play with, and explore. It was definitely something we'll do again and again!

We learned about dinosaurs, and digging for fossils.


Grant practiced his counting and times tables :)
We dreamed about being astronauts.

We learned about floating (and splashing).


Hope braved the bed of nails, but she doesn't look so brave, huh?


Grant liked this whirlpool thing. Mostly I include this picture because people are constantly telling me that he looks like my mom, and I can really see it here :)


Hope experimented with gravity and force.


And Grant was mesmerized by this centrifugal force ball. He loved it!


No, he ~really~ loved it!


Grant was asleep and Hope was so pooped when we got home that all she could muster the energy for was reading in a "book pile." That sounded perfect to me too :)

It was a fun and exhausting outing.

(I have to say that AGAIN I am amazed at your poise and patience with the heat, the crowds, me, the noise, the children, the driving, etc.etc.etc.)
