DISCOVERY SCIENCE CENTER ~ SANTA ANA
JPE & I took four kids
(ages 3, 5, 6 & 8)
to the Discovery Science Center!
A week ago, we called my niece...
"We are taking Lydia to the museum,
& will take your three kids,
as long as we can borrow your van."
(we have two small compact cars!!)
She said, "Are you crazy?"
after thinking for TWO
(I said two) seconds,
she said,
"I'll clean out the van."
We traded our compact for the van;
buckled four kids into seat belts;
and drove off in a drizzling rain.
It was pouring! by the time
we got the freeway.
The kids were troopers!
Dodging rain puddles,
we RAN for the shelter of the
museum entrance.
We had 30 minutes to explore
before the
BUBBLE FEST Show...
It was entertaining - but too long!
we left the show after 35 minutes.
I guess the presenter didn't know
that a person's attention span
generally "mirrors"
the AGE of the viewer!
Lydia's bubble...
(rain stopped about 12:30 ~
LUNCH was outside on the patio)
Lydia was an "EXPERT"
climber too!
We expended a LOT
of energy!
JPE & I
packed up the kids after
5+ hours of discovery!
OHHH - the kids were
SOOOO BRAVE!
They also laid on a
"BED of NAILS!!"
(Ten feet = four kids + me
two feet = JPE...
standing in line for the tickets)
