A bit of fun...




Earlier this month, we had a fun visit to Impression*5.  Jut had to do a presentation at Statewide, so we took the opportunity to visit the museum between his sessions.  I always love the bubble exhibit and the kids loved it too.  I really love when we can capture the bubble popping on camera! 


 X's turn!

Bubbles are serious fun.  However, it was very busy.   So, the kids didn't get to play in it nearly as much as they would have liked.

E loved exploring everything.  Had she not had two brothers running around like crazy, she would have explored each exhibit very carefully.  As it was, she was rushed with many of her exploring.

She did enjoy creating the lifecycle of a frog project while the boys were occupied elsewhere.  Jut even guessed what it was when she was finished.  I was pretty impressed with his guessing skills.  :)



They have redone most of the exhibits since the last time we visited.  It was really nice and impressive.

One of the other fun things the kids got to do was feed the fish.  Jut thinks that they were bluegill and bass.  The fish were funny to watch.  As soon as the worker started loosening the bolts, the fish were swarming the top.  The older two both got a chance to feed them.



 They had a fun structure building display.  E had fun building the wall that she's showing off.  I was impressed that she got it as tall as she was and was thankful the boys were occupied elsewhere...so that she had a chance to actually build.








The boys had fun building too.  C loved knocking everything down.  He played the part of a bulldozer well.  X just got frustrated with C's demolition.   But both loved dressing up.



The major attraction of the day was the model train exhibit in the basement.  It was a 100 ft oval of track.  It was impressive.  The guys running the trains had a train schedule with cargo to pick up and drop off.  Each guy had designed 6-18 foot of the oval.  It was quite the set-up.  The boys were in love and mesmerized....there was even a train table to play on.  Heaven was in that basement for my train-lovers.




















At the end, what visit isn't complete without a picture in a giant mouth.
