SCI

Last weekend we took the boys to the Science Center of Iowa for a nice Saturday trip. We all had a great time! The first thing that we did when we got there was probably all of our favorite. We went to the Star Theater to watch Big Bird, Elmo, and other Sesame Street characters on a dome screen. They taught us about the stars and Earth. The kids were in awe of the whole event!

After the star video show, we played, played, played!

They started at this wall that was full of vaccuums, pipes, balls, etc. They would drop the balls into a "vaccuum" and the balls would fly up the wall and then do an "obstacle course" down the wall. Brady loves to carry way more than one thing in his arms at one time. He tried to always have at least 3 or 4 balls in his arms at one time. They stayed and played at this 'wall' for a very long time!

Brady also played at the train table for a good amount of time.

Lee and Tyler built a rocket out of paper to put it into the rocket shooter. Their rocket didn't turn out so hot. But, it was nice to watch them work together and try it out!

This shows Tyler and Brady giving the weather on Channel 13 news!

Playing in front of the green screen.

This was very cool! They could have played with this thing forever. You push the 'pins' through to the other side to see your hand prints, faces, whatever.

Lee and Tyler kept putting their faces into it, so Brady wanted to do it too, however he just put the top of his head into the thing.

Tyler caught a fish!

Bubble Bay. Lee and I thought that this was pretty neat, and we figured Tyler would really like it too. However, it was messy, so Tyler didn't play too long with the bubbles.

Instead, Tyler put on a puppet show for me.....

And Lee played in Bubble Bay!
