We spent yesterday at the Science Center. It is a hands-on museum for children. It has lots of fun things to do, like laying on a bed of nails, dissection of a cow's eye ball, a learning about bones class, levers, building areas, etc. The kids really enjoyed it. We all learned a lot. I think one of AnnaLisa and Andrew's favorite was the presentation called "forces of nature". It had massive fans, heat lamps, rain, and shaking floor to simulate everything from tornado to earthquakes. I am glad they did not try a tsunami! AnnaLisa went 4 or 5 times. My personal favorite was the Lava class. They showed us how to make different types of lava (more than vinegar and baking soda). They talked about different types of volcanoes, different types of rocks volcanoes make, etc - really interesting stuff!
One of the funny things about the day is that I had the kids wear good walking shoes so that we would last (4.5 hour trip) and I was the one who ended up having the sore feet at the end of the day!
I have to thank Danika for letting us know about this program. We were able to "check out" 4 free tickets from the library, so we only had to pay for one ticket (Maggie and the twins were free). So family trip to the museum cost $18 - 10 for the ticket, $8 for parking (we figured out where we could park for free next time).
We want to go to a few more museums this summer, hopefully we can!
