Thursday Daddy and the kids went to a children's science museum in B'ham. From the web site, it looked like a really nice one. I told Daddy to take lots of pictures since I couldn't be there. He did. He took 203! I won't bore you with all of them here. I think these are in backwards order from how/when they were actually taken. (Remember, I didn't go; it may be hard for me to describe the pictures cuz I have no idea what is going on)
These 2 pictures (K in the green car and C dressed up like a postal worker) were part of a mini-city. There was a crane, a Lego table, buildings, cars, trains, and lots of other stuff.
This is a hurricane booth. Once you step inside, you experience hurricane force winds up to 78 mph. C and K went in together first but K was scared so she had to go in with Daddy.
These pictures were some kind of computer that "froze"your picture in a 2D image, thus creating the distortion. They took a lot of pictures of these images; they are hysterical.
Here is the giant piano that you play with your feet. I think this would be tons of fun!
For some reason, K was afraid of this fish and wouldn't get in its mouth. There are other pictures of C pretending the fish was eating him. Crazy boy!
These are moon jellyfish. Since they are clear the tank is lit up with color changing LED lights. They took pictures of all the different colors. The pictures are really pretty. This was my favorite color. Did you know that jellyfish don't have brains? (You bit of information for the day)
I guess there were a few different fish tanks with different types of fish. I like this one cuz it seems like you can see right through him. There was a shark and ray touch tank there too.
Not sure about the wall behind them, but I thought it was a good picture of my 2 cute kiddies.
They took lots of pictures of cool and unusual skeletons. There was a turtle and a whale, but this was my favorite looking.
Have you ever seen these things? I don't know if they have a scientific name, but the museum calls them the "Pin Walls." They have mini versions at Wal Mart. They took a lot of pictures here; again, looks like so much fun!
C is using the force! The mindball headband measures electrical signals produced by your brain waves and causes the little ball to move. K didn't do so good.
I'm not sure which section this was in. The kids got to work on a car. C worked under it and K worked on the tires.
And here they are laying on the bed of nails.
Looks like they had so much fun! I'm glad they could go and spend the day with Daddy. (I counted it as a field trip so hopefully they--especially C--learned something)
