We haven't been there for years, but James asked to go, so we did. He said some of the things he remembered, like the mummy, and the sneeze machine.
There's a lot to take in. I'd like to go back again with Lydia, Tim, and Julia and go slowly and do some of the experiments.
Lydia wanted to touch that bear, but see how high the Plexiglas is? No touching for you. Her winter coat became a burden at some point--too heavy to carry, too hot to wear, but this worked.
That big circle on the left is a slice of a Douglas Fir tree, 522 years old.
The big windows, the light--it was so pretty in the winter sunshine, views of St. Paul.
Okay, we finally found this on the way out. Jay's friend Desi was sure it was here somewhere, but where? We went back to check it out and the kids ran up and went swinging from the railings making music. It's a very cool thing.
And that was that. We came home and made chili and a beautiful Sunday night ended a very lovely weekend.
Onward. We can do it. love you kids, MOM
