A Weekend of Fun - Part II

I switched phones with Matt during lunch so I could continue this blog. So, as I was saying, we went to the Imagination Station, which featured hands-on exhibits so kids can learn more about science. This was by far Matt and my favorite science museum we had ever been to. It was really fun for both kids and "big kids." Currently, they have a visiting exhibit for animation, and of course that was the first thing we saw. We learned how to draw cartoon characters.


Here is Matt drawing the character.


This is our finished product. Matt's is the one on the left.

The next thing we did was quite possibly the bravest and stupidest thing Matt and I have done in our lives. We rode a bike on a tight rope with no protection what so ever!!! We had a huge counterweight below us so we wouldn't fall, but trust me, it felt like we could! And to make it more scary, we had to start by riding backwards!








We may have smiles on our faces, but that was only since we knew we were photographing each other. If we had zoomed in, you would have seen the beads of sweat coming down...

Next we went to a device that teaches about lift. They demonstrate this by lifting people! Amazingly, it was quite a workout!


Here is Matt learning how to be lifted.


Up, Up and Away!

We then went into a simulator that simulated a massive wind storm. We experienced a class 1 hurricane at 94mph. Here is my hair afterwards. I'm going for chic couture.

Hello!

After being a lite snack for the T-Rex, I realized I too was hungry. We took a hot chocolate break and this was our view from the table. We looked across the river and saw some pretty fancy restaurants boasting the same view. Normally a restaurant like that would cost you at least $50. Our meal was $3.00. Not bad!
