Science Center visit

This last Saturday we decided to visit the Arizona Science Center. I have mentioned the Culture Passes before, but we can get free passes to museums and stuff here in Phoenix through the Phoenix Library. We had a late start but were excited to get out of the house and do something for FREE. Well, we got there and there was a lot of cool stuff to see and do. There was rooms about building things, land, water, air, legos, space, and the body. I am sure I am missing some stuff, but there was a lot. The boys got to test their strength, feel different atmospheres, see how different storms are made, build stuff with all sizes of legos, fly a plane, look at different minerals, learn about radios and the computer age stuff. The kiddos had a good time I think and was pretty worn out. They learned a lot and so did we. We had a blast and wanted to share some pictures with everyone from there.
So these were from the Legoland floor. The knight above with the boys is make out of small little legos...it is unbelievable. The boys loved it there. They even had little outfits the kids could wear around. Matthew didn't like his so it didn't stay on too long.
This was a screen that you stood behind and the monitor would show the balls gathering up on whatever was behind it. It was pretty neat to see how it worked. However it did work?

This was a place where it blew air up in the air and the balls would float on it. The boys loved it.
This is a bunch of little cushions that you had to walk on, Matthew actually did the best on it. Then Ben below is my little Ben the Builder.

Looks like you guys have a lot of fun things to do in the Phoenix area. Maybe we should plan a little vacation and come visit you! (In the winter of course!) :)
