Science Center

I took the kids to the Science Center a couple of weeks ago and we all had a great time. We have season passes so we are able to as much as we like. It is a great way to spend a cold, snowy morning! We choose a great day to go, last time we went there were a few schools there on field trips and the place was so busy. This time there were no schools there, so the kids pretty much had the place to themselves.
Porter is always drawn to the hammers! My future scientists!
Checking out some stuff in the Toddler Town area.

Making bubbles.
Giving brother a lift to see the turtles.

I'm pretty sure Stella wasn't supposed to be climbing this, but she just can't help herself from climbing anything she can!!! One of their favorite things to do is launch rockets. There is a place to build your own rockets using paper and masking tape. Then you put them on these little metal cylinders and press a button to blow out air into your rocket and they fly across the room. Here's Stella after launching hers, she was running to go retrieve the rocket to launch it again!
Porter pressing the button, his rocket already launched.
A shot of a very determined Porter, getting his rocket on the launcher all by himself. He wants no help from mommy!! :)
The "Ball Wall", Porter is down in the left hand corner.
Watching their marbles go round and round and round.
