One of the fun things we did on our trip was go to
CuriOdyssey with my sister, which is like a science museum with animal exhibits. The place was very cool, fairly inexpensive, and we all had a good time.
 |
| This was a big tube with a fan at the bottom. The kids made sculptures out of foam pieces, put them in the bottom, and watched them fly out the top! |
 |
| Fly! |
 |
| Saffron catching her creation! |
 |
| This was a water cyclone thing. The husband was able to get a big cyclone going. |
 |
| We spent a lot of time with this activity. |
 |
| This was filled with teeny-tiny BBs and made a rain noise. |
 |
| Light table with various colored pieces and right-angle mirrors so you can play with rotational symmetry. |
 |
| There was tons of art in the place. This was one of my favorites. |
 |
| All the Corwins... |
 |
| The view is pretty too. |
 |
| And then on to the animal exhibits! This was a rattlesnake. |
 |
| Bobcats, all snuggly. |
 |
| The otters were adorable! This one came right up to Oz. |
 |
| Kids climbing on things, 'cuz kids gotta climb. |
 |
| More views! |
 |
| Walking the trail near there, we found this awesome chair/throne. |
 |
| Afterwards, we headed back to my sister and her fiancé's house and enjoyed a fire. |
 |
| Corwin was really excited. |
 |
| But the fire was bothering his eyes, so he tried this on for some protection! |
 |
| Saffron doesn't care. She got a book. While she's readin', the rest of the world can wait. |
 |
| Ozzy had to try it out too. |
 |
| Corwin and Quenten added some wood to the fire... Saffron pretending they don't exist. |
 |
| Oz crashed out at the hotel. Poor baby was very worn out. |
 |
| Picture of the hills as we're on our way to the airport. |
We had a really good trip, and I am looking forward to next time. Probably going to go again in the springtime. We might actually make it a roadtrip, though we'll see.
