Science Exploration

We spent Wednesday afternoon at our local Science Center. The kids love it there (although Aidan was a bit young the last time we went) and Matt has never been there. The science center is such a fun place for the kids to run around and play. There is so much to look at and see! Here are the giant statues at the center that are usually surrounded by pools (I guess they drain them in the winter).





Next we headed to the dinosaur exhibit. Aidan loved the dinosaurs, of course. Once he realized that they moved, he was enthralled. Brenna was impressed with how big they were. Chloe wasn't that into the dinosaurs themselves but she did enjoy making the dinosaur robot move.







Here are some fun pictures of us playing at some of the displays they have there...






One of my favorite exhibits at the Science Center is the butterfly house. It is such a peaceful (although muggy) place. Beautiful tropical flowers and ponds are full of butterflies. You can even watch as butterflies come out of their cacoons.





Brenna and Chloe loved the butterflies. They couldn't stop looking around.





Here are some more pictures of us exploring the rest of the center.






I know it doesn't look like in this picture but Aidan is actually hanging onto the rope four to six inches off of the ground. He is one strong kid. He held on with everything he had. He had a blast just hanging around. =)




We had three very tired kids on our hands as we left the big city and headed for home. They all passed out in the back of the Land Yacht. The younger two didn't wake up until right before we got home. It was a great family day!
