{She Said} An Introduction to Science

A couple weekends ago, we embarked upon the Ft Worth Museum of Science and History with a couple of buddies (twins) of Zach's from school. I didn't know how much there would really be for Zach to do at the museum but it actually turned out really great for him. He was able to explore lots of things and run around (which is his MOST favorite past time these days).

Ummm... is anyone else seeing this... is this really the best place to leave me?!?!

He was over his trepidation by the time we got to the alligator/ crocodile mouth (if you know which one this is feel free to let me know).

 We did some grocery shopping training. For Zach it was more push the cart training but we tried to teach him about the food and money and checking out... he just kept running away with the cart. Hmmm.

 BUBBLES! We could press different buttons and it would change the flow of the bubbles.

 Zach and one of his buddies explored some terrariums with spiders and snakes. Oddly enough, it was the female twin... YOU GO GIRL! Look at Zach look scared and she's all like, "I just don't know what the big deal is... silly boys!"

 Matt and I tried to spend an extended time in the dinosaur exhibit because we decided that we can live with Zach being into dinosaurs over many other things so we encouraged it. Who knew there was a PawPawsaurus!?!

 This was a FASCINATING exhibit for the Zachster. Those balls would just hang in the air due to the fans underneath... some of the magic was lost when the especially friendly older child kept running up and turning the fans off so the balls would fall. It was one of those, "If YOU were MY child..." moments.

We also went to an exhibit called "Grossology." It is pretty much exactly what it sounds like... a lot of gross things: snot, gas, puss. I will say that Team Zachy and Mommy won the trivia challenge at the end!

Zach didn't want to take this picture. But I said tough... so we had to take it twenty-three times to get this gem. But LOOK! You can see bunches of reflections of the backs of our heads!
