To the Science Center We Shall Go

The crowds were crazy. I've never seen so many people there.  The boys got the, "there are lots of people here today. STAY CLOSE," speech and they agreed.

They spent the first 45 minutes playing with trains on the train tables.  You know, much like the one we have at home. But, they were happy.


Walker was just about the oldest in the kindergarten and younger area.  He was such a good leader.

You see those trains in the middle of the table? He had set those up separate for when the toddlers came to play (and they did, and then he would set them up again).  He even calmly brokered a couple of train disputes between children he did not know. {Maybe the 4 years of, "share kindly" are finally getting us somewhere}

Eli was filled with inventiveness.  He used all the machines in his own unique ways and crafted new uses for the tools and toys.






Colin "helped," and Eli was gracious anyway.


Colin wanted to play the toddler golf, only the golf balls (as they usually are) were all missing. So, being the resourceful and strong young lad he is, use the giant golf ball holder (which does look like a ball) as his ball.



It didn't go very far, but he was satisfied.


We spent more time than ever at the life-sized light bright wall.  Eli lined up all the green ones.


Then he counted them (bonus math lesson!).


And, they are only sort of "stay dry aprons," but hey, it's just water.


Every day is an adventure, and this was a good one.
