The Science Center

Today we met Alicia and Isabelle at the Science Center, a rare treat for my kids!!  I generally don't like that place because it's expensive and most of the interactive displays are broken.  Today was no exception but the kids liked it, none the less.  Taffy started out there with us but then Shane came and got her so we could see the movie, "Sea Monsters" in the IMAX.  I always feel like I'm car sick when I watch a movie in there.  But it wasn't too bad today. (My motion sickness, the movie wasn't too great.)  The girls really liked the ball wall where the balls are put into this vacuum device and you watch them go through this tube system and see where they come out of.  The dinosaur room also was a big hit--not so much the dinosaurs but the sand box where you get to uncover fossils.  They also had a tent set up that they girls thought was a hoot.  Teagan asked not too long ago to go camping.  Holiday Inn is about as "roughing it" as I get and we all know what happens when my family spends time in a hotel (hint: vomit) but we won't remind Shane because I'm trying to work on a long weekend get away for our family before school starts since we don't really have anything planned this summer.  Anyway, it was good to see Alicia and Isabelle while they were in town since we haven't seen them in a month and a half or so.  It was a good day for all.  Enough for now...-AS
