Planetarium

Last Saturday Laura and I took the kids to the Science museum to see a Sesame Street show at the planetarium. It was right up our kids alley! We really lucked out in that there weren't that many people at the museum so the kids pretty much got to do any exhibit they wanted without having to compete with a crowd. Here's a pic of all the kids before the show started.

After the planetarium show we visited the cowboy exhibit where the kids got to ride virtual horses to corral the cows into the fenced area. Here's cowboy Ben...

The girls rode a horse together. This pic pretty much sums up my girls personalities...

After the cowboy exhibit it was off to some science experiments about wind. There was a tornado simulator.

This one really shows the tornado...

This is a momentum spinner. It can really get going fast. It simulates what an ice skater might feel in a spin.

Jill really enjoyed it even though I was BARELY spinning it for her. She kept trying to go back and do it again.

Then we tried spinning plates. First Laura...

Then me...

Then Jill!

Meanwhile... Jane, Elizabeth and Ben were busy creating flyers for the wind tunnel and trying them out.

We couldn't leave the science museum without a trip to see the dinosaur bones! Here's one of the kids inside a dinosaur footprint which we did on the last visit as well. I guess kids just can't get enough of dinosaurs. Side note: Jill saw the dinosaur footprint and was saying, "bath!"

All in all a GREAT day at the science museum! And, it was all FREE with our museum passes. Gotta love that!Thank you to Laura and your awesome kiddos for such a fun day!
