Science Center Geeks

Yes, I'm afraid that this week we turned into a bunch of big dorks by attending the Science Center here in Des Moines. It was awesome! They have a ton of interactive things to do and lots of cool stuff to see and play with. Brooklyn and Aubrey loved getting to play with all the stuff and Brooklyn especially loved being able to push a bunch of buttons. But I don't think anyone had as much fun as Luke. I guess that makes sense though, since science is kind of his thing. Anyway, he got especially excited when he got to experiment with generating power through water. I can't explain anything about it except that there was some water (that Brooklyn eventually fell in) and some black blocks (that Aubrey wanted to suck on).
Brooklyn loved sticking her face over the huge air-blower and Aubrey just thought she was hilarious.
Coloring different species of leaves is pretty serious business in this crowd.
They loved watching the documentary on robots inside of the robot car.
Brooklyn spent FOREVER in front of this huge ball wall - it was pretty entertaining.
Luke and I built this arch with all the different blocks and were so proud that we were able to accomplish something while both kids weren't sleeping!!

I am SO excited to see you all in a few days! That place looks like a lot of fun even though it's sciency. And I think Rick would be like Luke and have the most fun too....That's yet another plus of living in a big city-things to do that are kid friendly! Can't wait to party and get the girls together again! (and we are included in "the girls" too!)
