Part 3: Pacific Science Center

Here is what my dad and myself were doing the whole day - recording every moment on film!

As soon as we walked into the Butterfly House, one landed on our friend Hannah! I had a camera in one hand, another child in the other hand and Hannah was not pleased and wanted me to use my third hand to get it off!!

Uncle Aaron adds his power to the kids pulling on a huge weight!

Everyone loves to touch the tide pools. There is so much to do there, and I know we didn't get to all of it. The kids were starving after 2 1/2 hours and we made our way to the Center House for lunch. Stayed tuned for tomorrow's post, after lunch was the best part!!

Spring Break, Part 2

Part 2: Pacific Science Center:
Aaron brought his 2 boys, I had my girls, my Dad came with a 9 year old friend of the family, and we had my sisters 2 kids as well. It was a bit crazy. Aaron jumped up right away on a chin up bar where it timed how long you could hold it. It showed he is a healthy 15 year old girl. Hmmm...so Maria got on with her gymnastic prowress and she is a healthy 20-29 year old woman. Someone needs to work on those biceps!

Isabelle tries a balancing game! This part of the exhibit was full of health/mental tests. The kids rode bikes to see how many light bulbs they could light up, smelled different scents while trying to guess what they were, got their blood pressure tested, tested their flexibility, etc.

Then we headed off to the dinosaurs! Isabelle was just placating me by standing here with these 2 guys. At this point, the little kids were still running around too fast for me to catch on film. Wait until tomorrow's post when the other kids had slowed down a bit.

Baby T-Rex

This is part one of maaaany. The first thing we did at the Pacific Science Center (last week) was to sit down for a viewing of a 6 month old baby T-Rex. I was a little confused as to what this would amount to. KOMO 4 news was there and all the people who were in the vicinity had heard the announcement over PA system and came in to see what it was all about. Finally, out came a fantastic Broadway like version of a dinosaur. All our kids were sitting up front (7 cousins) while I watched from fartehr back with my Dad and brother. Some of the audeince were scared, some laughed a lot. Since the camerman at KOMO didn't want any crying children to interview, he picked a group that seemed to be the most entertained, and the cutest group for tv.
