The kids loved our first trip so much, that they wanted to show Daddy the cool science museum!
We did lots of the same things, and yet still managed to find new things to see & do.
We spent little to no time at the trains last time, so they were a big hit this time.
Alice found a couple of other big kids, and they built up enough speed that the water almost shot up to the ceiling bucket!
Emily loves to be plaque
Billy taught the twins how to operate his favorite piece of medieval machinery.*
The inside of a fire hydrant. I alone found it interesting.
We spent probably an hour at the paper plan launching station. They had a great time folding, launching and relaunching their planes.
The bubble room was still a favorite. Alice spent half of her trip in this space.
She also mastered catching a bubble on her hand!
She even taught grace her secrets.
Everybody loved it when daddy pulled them up on the lift. But not a single one wanted to hang around for his lecture on why it worked. Poor daddy. = )
We all spent some time building with the variety of options they have available.
The closest think I could make to a cube. They didn't have the correct connectors. Juliet was the perfect assistant.
Alice's answer to building a cube.
Emily built an arch!
It got knocked over, so she had to rebuild it.
Grace talked Billy into coming into the Eye.
Juliet's response when I told her we couldn't go into the baby room any more, since she is a big girl now!
Alice was able to enjoy time in the 9 years and up room (poor Emily was quite jealous.) But, Emily will turn 9 before our membership expires, so she'll have an opportunity to enjoy it too.
William and I had to put a column in his "house," but it made the magnet panels stable enough to lean upon!
Somehow, we spent even longer there than we did the first time, and everyone, except for Grace, was still not ready to go!
And with the conclusion of this second trip, the membership cost is now less than the cost of any subsequent trips!
later days
*unless of course you consider the crossbow machinery instead of technology, then the trebuchet would be 2nd favorite.
