Family fun for Saturday!






We took the kids to the Natural Science Center on Saturday and it was a blast!! They had a ton more than we anticipated and we could have spent the better part of the day there, but we only had about 3 hrs by the time we got there. Oh well, it was still super fun!
We went to the dinosaur exhibits, which I think was the biggest hit with all of the kids! We also went to the Omnisphere and saw a show about summer star gazing! That place was so cool! It brought back a lot of memories of being a child and going to the planetarium! It wasn't exactly the same, but still very cool! They had an outside little zoo and the tigers are really cool, although did you know that tigers SPRAY? They have the tigers in a cage (obviously) that is pretty close to the people. At one part of the fence there is a sign that says "spray zone". Apparently the tigers will spray to mark territory. What do they spray you ask? Well urine and anal secretions of course!! Nasty!! :)
There was one part in the center that was all these brain teaser puzzles that you had to like make a square using these four different shaped blocks, or fir six wood cubes into a small wood box with none of the edges left sticking out...you get the drift, well, I could not do ANY OF THEM!! Katelyn however mastered almost everyone that she tried!! That little smarty pants!! :)

It was a super fun day and we will for sure be making a trip back SOON!
