our trip to the science center.

For Rocco's birthday, we headed up to Iowa to spend the weekend with my parents.  They have a family membership to a lot of the most fun places in town, so we trekked over to the Science Center for the morning to check out the dinosaur exhibit.


Everyone's on the move.  It is impossible to keep track of everyone super well when we're out and about.



Except this one.  He's easy to keep track of, because he's always strapped into this thing.  I keep this umbrella stroller in the van and it goes ev.ery.where. with us.






This happened at one point, because kids are kids, and public is public.





They learned how to build with certain shapes to guarantee a stronger structure.  



They tested their designs with dog biscuits.





Callista eventually got bored enough to sleep.  Apparently the dog biscuit experiment was a real snoozer.




We also checked out their space zone for a little while before heading out.




What a fun morning!  We got to see so much, and yet there was still so much left unexplored.  Any of my Iowa readers have a favorite part of Science Center we missed and should be sure to check out next time we're there?

My big kids like the room with the live animals, but the real showstopper for all of them is the pretend grocery store. Sometimes I think they would like to just play there for the whole day.

this was a good visit. i'm excited for the next time we swing by. it makes it nice being able to go back on your mom's pass. makes for far less pressure to try to see everything in one fell swoop.
