Fun Things #4-42: We spent the rest of the day in the Science Center. Dandy held a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach (though Chickadee declined with a shriek, can't imagine why). We saw a dynamic presentation on combustion: full of explosions and colored flames and a stern reminder to not play with fire.
We visited the dinosaur exhibit. Chickadee confided in me that she wasn't scared cause her Papa was with her. Dandy tested out the footprint casts.
The Science Center is full of wonderments as well as many many buttons to push. Dandy's favorite was the space shuttle with zillions of buttons and knobs and switches and panels that lit up and dials that moved.
The Pacific Science Center includes a Butterfly Museum full of 1,000s of live butterflies. This butterfly thought Chickadee's hat was a nice place for a rest.
My Gift and the kids really got into the music display where I had fun playing the theremin.
Fun Thing #43: The children rode their first merry-go-round right before we caught the Monorail, the free bus, and the train and came home. I think My Gift and I set a record for getting all the pets located and feed and the kids tucked in and ourselves in bed: ten minutes from driveway to pillows; we were all tuckered out.
In case you are wondering, Chickadee wore her sunglasses and hat for most of the day, as the light hurts her eyes.

That is so awesome! Looks like they had fun!
what wonderful memories for the kids to have....I hope to do something similar when my grandchildren come for a visit...a train ride into NYC!
Looks like a blast! Maybe Dandy will grow up to be an astronaut!!
Great fun! My boys would love this. I don't know if I would have enough energy to do it all in one day though... Good for you.
What a great outing. I'd have had fun just doing the train, but look at all you did!
