On an Adventure!!

This morning while we were all having breakfast, Trav and Becca told the girls and me that we were going to go on an adventure today.  We were so excited!!  Alex and Lucy couldn't get dressed fast enough.  After what seemed like forever, we finally got in the car to leave.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  Let me just say that I was not disappointed.  If you have never been to the McWane Science Center, YOU HAVE GOT TO GO!!  It was the most fun that I have ever had.  Alex, Lucy, and I really did have a lot of adventures.  This place was so cool.  I hope that we will get to go back again some day.

One of the first things that I got to do was play in a really big sandbox with Lucy.  She buried me in the sand, and it tickled me all over.  It was so much fun.  I didn't want to leave, but there were so many other things to do that we just had to move on.

Since I had so much fun in the sand, I was really drawn to the "dig" pit.  I got to pretend like I was a paleontologist.  Becca said that was a scientist who looks for and studies fossils which are really old looking bones.  I got to dig around in a big pit looking for bones of creatures that used to live in Alabama a long time ago.  I even found a few things.  I hated to leave this too, but Becca said that we had to go see something else.

Can you see the bone that I found?


Next, we moved to this really cool game.  Trav said that it reminded him of a game that he played when he was little.  He called it "light bright."  Alex and I put these sticks with lights in them into a bunch of little holes to make designs.  When we were finished, Alex even put me up there with the lights.  It was so neat.  I just felt like I was glowing all over.

Can you see me glowing?

 When we were finished with the lights, Lucy took me to a flower garden.  This was one of my favorite parts of the day.  Lucy was planting flowers and watering them.  She even let me get right in there with all of the flowers.  They were all so colorful, and I felt so special getting to be part of the garden.



Do you see me?

Just before we left, Becca put me somewhere that I really wasn't sure I wanted to be.  There were all of these plastic sticks that you could push to make an imprint of something.  Becca actually put me in there.  I was kind of scared at first, but it really didn't hurt.  I did get smashed a little bit though.  It was kind of nice because I had a good view of what everybody else was doing. 

It was the best adventure ever.  If you have never been to the McWane Science Center, I really think that you should go.  There were lots of kids there to play with and all sorts of cool things to do.  We even got to eat pizza and M & Ms for lunch.  The girls and I had such a good time that we fell asleep on the way home.  I can't wait to see what adventures that I will get to go on next.
