Creative Discovery Museum

Hello!  Last night we went to the Creative Discovery Museum it was family free night! Woohoo! So all it cost us was the $3 to park.  Not bad for this big ole family!  We met some friends up there for a birthday, and enjoyed our time very much.  It was rather crowded, but we weighed it out... Free.. crowded... it is going to happen, so we just enjoyed ourselves.  Cameo and her latest stance when it is picture time, Carlie Jean learning from her sister, and Abe of course is not looking at the camera.. I am learning not to be too picky when it comes to pictures of all of us together.   Take what you can get is usually the idea! HA!
So this place is great and if you live close enough you should try and go...
We have a room where you learn about gears, and levers and weights and measurements... a geeks dream come true right? HAHA
We have the dinosaur dig.... where you unearth the dino's yourself and yes, when we read over some of the material, if there was any millions of years nonsense we corrected the museums error.  
I believe Eli is ready for an archaeological dig!
Abe is loving this part.
More fun learning teamwork and how it is true, many hands make light work...
Water Works... probably one of the favorite parts of the museum.. Water is an amazing thing... how forceful it can be, and how easily you can be wet! There is a splash zone in this section.... be aware!
And last but not least at the end or the beginning, however you look at it, there is the giant bubble... 
Aren't they too sweet standing there all hugged up... awww!
I hope you are having a great Friday my friends.  It is hard to believe Friday is already here.  Oh, I forgot to show you the present I made our little birthday friend. 
It is a pillowcase with his name embroidered on it, and because I know how little boys can be, there is a pocket sewn on as well for them to put their toy car, or action figure or whatever in... it turned out rather cute.  I know my boys go to bed every night with something in their clutches so this is a pretty neat idea. 
Have a great weekend everyone... and I am introducing myself on The Front Porch today... hooray!  If you have a chance you can stop by there.
One more thing... my friend Katie Bettendorf has just had to have her baby girl Jodi put in the hospital... PLEASE pray for this family.

I love the picture of Cameo ;-) She reminds me of my little girl. Is that stance something they all talk about and decide to do together? LOL! I guess it's something about that age and girls. I also LOVE your gift your made. Perfect for a little boy (and big boys,too)
Have a joyfilled day!
