Today the play group went to the Flandrau Science Center on the U of A campus. I have always enjoyed going there and glad that I got to go one more time before it closes on the last day of May. A lot of the hands-on displays were already gone, which was sad, but the kids still had some fun. The boys talk a lot about outer space, so it was interesting watching them during the slide show about Larry, the Cat That Went to the Moon. I just want to know what they did with that stinking old cat poo! Garrett did NOT like Hector, the robot thing that made the shows on the ceiling . . . well maybe he did once he got to make it move. He and Gabe got to go behind the little wall and do stuff, way cool!
Any way, Garrett doesn't seem to get the whole outer space thing but Gabriel does as much as a four year old can. It was fun showing them the meteorites that have been found in the different places in the western hemisphere and talk about how they "came down from the sky".
They loved the spinning display. Mariah got a video of Gabriel's eyes after he spun. They wiggle back and forth, but he can walk straight. Garrett on the other hand, gets VERY dizzy and can't even stay on his feet, even when he hangs on to something. It's a little scary how long it lasts. He thinks it's way fun! Crazy kind of kid?!?
We had fun taking pictures in the art piece outside the center with their little friend, Conner. One thing about UA, they do have some great art around the campus . . . after saying that, I will probably find out there is some really perverted stuff somewhere I didn't know about. the kids always laugh at me and how I can blank out stuff around me or in movies. I just remember the good stuff . . . part of my bubble!
Lincoln just took it easy after he got that "load" off his mind . . . twice!

Looks like you guys had fun! Sorry we had to miss it. :(
Love the pictures though...thanks for sharing.
That little Lincoln is so precious. You have such cute grandkids,
Would you believe both boys went to sleep after we got home...which was good because Lincoln hasn't stopped crying. I'm bouncing him with my foot in the bouncy seat as I type....my muscles are SO tired. The other two are playing with the "glow" train, you know the outer space train set.
It is so sad they are closing the science center down. I spent many a day with my preschoolers there. Glad you got to go one more time, and especially with your little grandbabies.
so much fun. Those are great memories!! I am so sad it's closing. That was one thing I loved doing as a kid!!
that looks like a lot of fun, I love doing science stuff with the kids.
