Science Center

Last week we got to see Josh and Kara one day. They wanted to see the Pacific Science Center so we met up in Seattle.

I asked Kaleb to pray for me on the way there that Mommy would drive safely and he said a good one.

I've realized one of my favorite things to do is explore and learn new things with my kids. I love their excitement and curiosity about biology, history, chemistry, physics, everything! This was a fun place to learn little bits of all those things.

We loved exploring the bug section: black widows, bees, cockroaches, gigantic millipedes, scorpions,etc.

And of course the butterfly place. Josh told me later I had a butterfly on my back the whole time and didn't even notice. It was cool to see them up close, sticking their long tongues in the flowers. The kids tried really hard to catch one, but I'm glad they didn't. Poor things!

Eliza was a little freaked by the robotic dinosaur exhibits, but Kaleb loved it of course.

Then we went outside to ride the high rail bicycle.

I screamed the whole time. I felt like it was going to tip, plus I had to wear Josh's size 13 shoes. They wouldn't let me on in flip-flops. Scary fun!

I liked the Body Works place too. We had to test Eliza's strength.

Josh was awesome on the grip tester. I got a 500, Kara got 600, Josh got the "Ouch!" level, which is off the meter. Me and Kara couldn't get that with both our hands squeezing. It was a fun day. Kaleb loves Josh, mostly to wrestle and tackle with. Eliza loves Kara and even asked to hold her hand. Cute! Thanks for the visit!
