I know that Em's break actually started last Thursday but since we were in Illinois closing on our house and my mom was here, Spring Break officially started (at least in my head!) today.
Adam, Em and I went to the St. Louis Science Center today for awhile. While there, we visited the Discovery Room, the IMAX movie theatre, the overpass over I-64, the dinosaurs, and the space section!
Adam and Emily both enjoyed their first IMAX experience. We saw Sea Monsters, a movie that features a dolichorynchops (familiarly known as a 'dolly') as she travels through life's stages. The movie shows the "dolly's" experiences with long-necked pleisosaurs, giant turtles, enormous fish, ferocious flippered crocs, fierce sharks, and the mosasaurs. We also saw some dinosaurs (including a T-Rex)which you know Adam loved! Both kids were a little freaked out at first by the sound and movie because it was very loud and LARGE!
Something I thought was interesting was a scale that computed how expensive it would be to send you to space based on your weight. I'll post those pics and you can see how expensive it would be to send us 3 Kreidlers to space!
Now, I only have to figure out the rest of the week!!! Adam's already talking about the Zoo!
Here's some pics:
The water table in the Discovery Room. Always a crowd favorite!
Emily is "gunning" the cars below in I-64/US 40 to see who is speeding!
Adam and I checking out passing cars/trucks.
Emily taking her turn to observe.
How much is costs to send Emily to space - $565,000!
Adam is a bargain at only $220,000!
Adam and Mom on the scale!
