Amy was gone for her semi-annual scrapbooking weekend (where a bunch of middle-aged women sit around and cut out circles all day) and Ninny Cindy was in town. Apparently, Amy thinks I can't handle the kids on my own. Okay, it's actually because she wants to leave for her weekend first thing Friday morning, and I wasn't able to take the day off.
On Saturday, the kids and I took Ninny to the St. Louis Science Center, and we made the most of our trip. We started with an I-Max movie about the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon, focused on water conservation. We then headed to see the traveling exhibit of Sue the T-Rex (a copy of the original on display at the Field Museum in Chicago). After a visit with Sue and a few dinosaur-themed crafts, we grabbed some lunch and then went to the discovery room. Adam and Ninny played with dinosaurs while Emily and I played with the water table, built with some magnetic blocks, etc.
