So we decided to start off our spring break with a trip to the science center. We received a membership there for Christmas but have not had a chance to go yet. So we figured this would be a good day since it was supposed to be a rainy messy day.
We got there right at opening and figured it was best to hit the Discovery Room early in case it got busy later. The kids had a blast playing in the room and I enjoyed watching each of their different personalities playing with everything.
Joey practicing his teeth brushing.....
Andrew playing with the marble set, this was one of his favorite things to play with!
Andrew finding some giant cockroaches......yuck!!!!
Adriana putting together a skeleton puzzle...
Joey playing at the water table, this was one of his favorite spots!
Adriana playing at the doll house....

Surprise, surprise......Adriana managed to find some animals!
Joey playing with the skeleton (not sure if he was trying to pick its nose or what).
Joey and Andrew building at the marble table.....
Andrew still building......told you this was a favorite spot for him!
I finally managed to get the kids to leave the discover room (I'll tell you they could have spent all day in there!)
So we moved on to the rest of the science center......
Playing on the computer (this seemed to be another favorite for them!)
Playing the harp.....
They were having so much fun here playing with the microphone. They were all laughing so hard they had people walking by laughing!
Sitting back waiting for the space shuttle to take off......
Joey playing with a turtle shell.....
Working together to put a puzzle together.....
My brave boys were cracking me up because they would not go near the dinosaurs! This was as close as I could get them, but they would not stand up!
My brave little girl standing underneath the mean dinosaur!
Although, I can't say I blame them because it does look really mean!
More fun exploring!!!!
Before we left we also went to see the movie "Sea Rex" at the omnimax theatre. I thought the kids would be scared of it (alright my boys) but they actually did really well and sat through the whole movie!
Then I wore them out on the hamster wheel before leaving.
Since it ended up being not such a bad day out we decided to hit the zoo too since it was just across the street and my membership there was going to end on Thursday.
We only got to stay a couple of hours but it was enough to have a little fun!
We visited the penquins.....
Saw too brother bears duking it out......hmmmmm, kind of reminds me of some other brothers I know :)
We saw a rhino....
Some elephants snuggling with each other......
And some fish!
I think the kids had a great day and best of all it only cost me gas money and a few dollars for a couple of snacks the kids shared!!!! We made our own lunch to eat that we ate between the science center and zoo so it was a fun cheap day!!!!
