| The first brain game we stopped at and the girls had fun playing with Daddy. I even challenged Steve to this game--I think we might have to play it at home and see if we can really develop a strategy. :) |

| The girls helping Steve get a farmer, chicken, fox and corn safely across the river with only two seats in the boat. You know you can't leave the chicken alone with the corn and the fox with the chicken etc. |

| Lila trying it by herself. P.S. Can you see the puzzle the girl is doing in the background? It has two horseshoes a chain and a ring and you try to get the ring off. My Grandpa Merrell had that game and I remember spending hours on it until one day I figured it out. So fun. |

They also have a mineral display downstairs that the girls wanted to check out. The loved it. They would run around feeling the big rocks and Lila would exclaim "Wock!" (you know not quite an R sound yet). We also brought home some crafts we can do to make minerals ourselves.
They had a thermal imaging camera set up and the static ball that makes your hair stand up--we couldn't talk Ellie in to doing it. We also saw a show in the planetarium where they told the stories of a few constellations with a laser show then they would put the stars up and show you how to find the constellations. Later they also had a laser show put to music. As we were leaving we went out to the observatory and got to look at Orion Nebula through a telescope.
It was a fun evening. I love spending time with my family exploring/creating.
