Children's Science Explorium

This is the entrance. It was so beautiful. Also--the air conditioning was TO DIE FOR AMAZING for Sterling and I, but our poor kids who were still soaked from the splash pad were shivering the entire time. Luckily, they were enjoying themselves enough they didn't even complain!

Creating fog.

Like the picture states, this was a magnet table and I think we should have one at our house. My kids LOVED building towers on it!

She fell down on the fossil dig area and got a pretty grand scrape, but was 'molli'fied by wearing mommy's glasses!

Making an engine go?

Ruth spent a good portion of time cranking this thing and watching it pick up the balls.

You had to press all these buttons in order to get this rocket on the ceiling to launch--Will loved it!

You can't really tell, but behind Sterling there is a giant mass of squiggly tubes that had air flowing through them. You would take a rag and put it in the bottom and the air would push it through all the squiggles and it would pop out the top and float down---Molly was absolutely GLEEFUL about the whole thing. 

Making a hot air balloon go up!

These tubes made the beach balls float--but you can see the tubes that Molly is playing with behind that.

Looking at our fingerprints.

See that little train that went all around the ceiling? I wasn't strong enough to pedal it forward and around-but Sterling was!

When I hit it really hard the air would blow at Molly's face and all I could see over the edge was her hair flying up. It was hilarious.

This is adorable Molly driving around the little space robot car.

It was a really, really cool place. And so nice for Sterling and I to have somewhere to walk in to beat the heat at the playground. The kids were enchanted (okay, so was Sterling and I) and we grabbed all the flyers as we were walking out to know what events to come back to. Best of all, it was free! Coolest morning ever! We came back in time for Sterling to head to priesthood session because he was ushering and ELDER HOLLAND was coming! But I'll have to have a post all of it's own for that. It was so great. And so great that we could just enjoy the slow pace of Stake Conference the rest of the weekend without ANY studying. For the first time in three and a half years. JOY!
