Weird Science

Today we went to the Seattle Science Center. They have a new dinosaur exhibit that we all wanted to see. We also got to see a 3D IMAX film on dinosaurs. Kallen didn't really watch any of this. Instead he enjoyed eating some cheerios and occasionally yelling out in delight and making a ruckus. I'm sure the people around us were not too happy. For lunch Grandma treated us to some tasty food and we all had a little picnic on the grass. We also had some fun at the outdoor children's park which had a whale fountain and some statues that the kids all posed on.

For dinner we went to Grandma and Grandpa's and had some pizza and played with some bubbles outside! Kallen really liked them. However, I didn't have my camera with me, so I had to use my Mom's camera. She will soon send me some pictures, which I will post for you all soon...stay tuned.

Oh, and one more thing. Kallen got two new teeth today. His top two front teeth came in. Hurray! That now makes three teeth for the little guy in one week! Ouch.

These next pictures are of the outdoor water exhibit, which teaches kids how water can be used as a power source. This little contraption is like a giant hamster wheel. You get in and make it turn by walking and then it acts like a waterwheel and makes some things in the outside lake start moving. You can see this on the second picture. The kids had a lot of fun with this.


The Science Center also has a butterfly exhibit just like the zoo. Here are a few pictures I took. The one below is of two butterflies that were just hanging out on a bench. The next picture is of Kallen sitting next to them, but not paying them any attention.




This is a picture that I actually took at the zoo, but I forgot to post it, so I'm doing so now. Kallen is a Caterpillar. Tyson and I really like this picture even though it has a really bad glare from the sun. I think we really like it because Kallen's favorite book is the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Here are some pictures from the dinosaur exhibit. There are not any pictures of Kallen because he was asleep during the entire thing.


Rylan, Emberly and Sharlie are digging for fossil eggs.


Here are a few pictures from the children's statue park. They all got wet and loved it...except for Kallen. He stayed dry.
