Future Scientists

Michael has decided that he wants to grow up to be a scientist (this all started because of a new show on PBS, "Sid the Science Kid"). He was delighted when for Christmas, Drew got us a 6 month pass to the local children's museum, Discovery Gateway. We took our first trip while Mom and Dad were in town. I think Dad was more excited about all the displays than the kids were. Although, he might have gotten a little discouraged when they wouldn't stand still long enough for him to explain the ins-and-outs of aerodynamics and wind flow! The ball tubes were a big hit.

Micheal spent the longest time at the construction zone, moving blocks with pullies and levers.

There is a life size helecopter outside, and you guessed it...it gets really loud!

I always thought me boys were cute enough to be on TV!

Zach liked dressing up like pirates and wild animals.

We've already been back once, and Michael made me promise that it would be in the plans for next week too.
