Science Center Fun

Last week one day I had an early morning appointment and Daddy just took the whole day off so we could have some fun! When we got up that day, the weather looked iffy for the afternoon, so we decided going to the Science Center was the safer (dryer) choice. And, really, it was the ONLY choice Colin was willing to entertain anyway. The entire week previous he woke every morning and told me "Let's go to the Science Center today." He didn't even want to wait for Daddy to come with us!

So anyway, off we went! We had a variety of fun stops.

Water fountain play:


Robot friends:


Especially RD2 (no, not a typo, that's what Colin calls him, RD2):



And a REAL METEORITE. Holy cow. We talk about meteorites EVERY single day, so this was a TREAT.

(See that talk out of the side of his mouth thing Colin is doing? It's this awesome new "thing" he does. Makes me bonkers.)

After the meteorite and the model trains (that we have no pictures of) we went into the digital planetarium to watch a short movie. It was pretty neat. Full of Big Bird, stars, constellations, the moon, and MORE METEORS! Then we had a quick lunch and moved on to the upper floors. They are "hands on" stuff that Gillian couldn't wait to get to.

Brusha, brusha, brusha....



And then onto the "Sports Works" portion of the museum. Gillian's favorite part! She headed directly for the trampoline. And got in line to wait (a short-ish wait this time).




And then it was her turn! And I got really blurry pictures.



Daddy used his phone to grab a quick video too. Colin is obviously unimpressed.


Colin declined to trampoline. He and Daddy took a virtual body tour (which was totally up his alley) and played some table hockey, maybe?


And then some BIG Operation.



And a race or two...


(She likes to win.)

And some yo-yoing.



And then home after a lot of fun. We got a membership this time, so I'm sure we'll be back! Kids LOVE it.
