the science center

grandma took us to the science center on monday. she is such a blessing to us!

grandma came to watch the kids while we went to a conference this past weekend and was staying while i had jury duty on tuesday. since monday was mlkj day and she was here with her science center pass we thought we'd brave the crowd and enjoy some hands-on science. it turns out it was not only a holiday for the government schools but it was also free-day for santa ana residents! there were so many people, but it wasn't bad. the kids were able to do everything they wanted to try. i'd never been there before, so i had nothing to compare it to. i know next time i go, i will be amazed at how few people there are.

here are the kids on the rock wall. everyone had a turn climbing - even sy.


we have always enjoyed the magic school bus - even if i do have to edit whilst reading. here are the kids on the hood of the bus.
And here they are driving the bus & making weather. There were some fun "recipes" for different storms and you could mix temperatures and wind and humidity to create your own storms! what fun!
Lastly they took a photo with liz the lizard from the msb books. (of all the characters to take my kids' pic with - i don't think i even have a picture of them with mickey yet!) oh well.

now this photo is an accomplishment for me! i really used to avoid dinosaurs and all talk of them (how silly of me!) but now i am so comfortable with them after hearing ken ham talk about how they fit in with God's creation. in fact i am dying to go to the creation museum to see more! (next time i'm in cincinnati)








we had a great day! i figured out that i'd like to take the kids there more often, so we'll plan to get passes (someday).
