Robin and I ventured out with the kiddos on Tuesday morning… we followed directions and made it safely to the Science Museum in St. Paul from our hotel in downtown Minneapolis. It was a little scary going there in the busy streets in a place that we were both unfamiliar with, but we made it and were pretty proud of ourselves. We got to get in for FREE with our zoo/science center membership which is always a cool thing in my book. We have used that here in DSM over and over and then in FL and now in MN…. and that was just from this year.
Josiah has learned to say CHEESE when you take a picture… so he wants to be in front of the camera more and more. I will take advantage of it while I can!
Making LOUD Dinosaur noises… and then CHEESE (with his chin up like Uncle Adam)!
Learning how tornadoes are formed and seeing how fast moving air over a curved surface creates LIFT
My little musician…nice pose, Grace!
Auntie BOO and the kiddos…
Me and my kiddos!!!!
We went to a demonstration for preschoolers about vibrations. The kids LOVED it, and the teacher was EXCELLENT! Hannah volunteered to pluck the strings of the little violin and feel the vibrations on the back while Grace volunteered to try out the Whoopie Cushion (her daddy would have been so proud!).
(Mom, who does the boy in the striped shirt remind you of? I immediately thought of a boy from CCS… let me know what you think!)
The last part of the day was making fingerprint animals and shapes… it was a highlight! Hannah made a few insects while Grace enjoyed decorating a butterfly with her fingerprints. (We didn’t let Siah participate in this one…) There were many, many more things that we saw and did, but I didn’t take pictures of. We had a blast even though many of the exhibits were not geared for preschool children. We had to really look for things that would be good for the kids, but they loved exploring this new museum and it made us really appreciate the one that we have in DSM.
