The Giant Sandbox
This was fun, but they did get pretty wet.
Payton at the lego table, you can really see how wet her pants got for the water they played in, I didn't even notice until I got home and looked at the picture!
Another "hands on exhibit" with sand and water and rocks etc. Myla kept flipping her sandy wet hands.
Payton with a "giant acorn" inside the squirrel house, so cute!!
Myla in the "bear tunnel"
Checking to see if the fish are real, (they are in resin)
At Omsi there is an area set up like a grocery store, a kitchen and a puppet stage all in one area, the girls had fun shopping, cooking and playing with the puppets...so cute!
This activity was fun, the girls were examining the x-rays under a magnifying glass, I kept referring to one of the x-rays as a "crab", Myla kept saying "it's not a crab"! I would say , "I think it is a crab" and she would repeat herself, "it's not a crab"! I finally asked, "well what is it"? Myla told me emphatically, "It is a Yizard"!!! After closer examination I agreed, "it is a Lizard"! It was a funny moment. Moral of the story...if you think it is a crab, look a little closer, it just may be a lizard!
I wish that I could have been in front of the girls facing them with a camera when they walked into the T-Rex exhibit, they were beyond excited, a dinosaur a "real" dinosaur!! The excitement on the face of a child is unmatchable, what a day we had and it would have been longer but after 5 hours Poppa was tired, but he was a great sport!!!
