Museum Day

   On Tuesday, we decided to have a museum day.  There is a science center that I took Ashlyn to years ago when she was only like 2 years old.  It was neat, but she was way too young to really enjoy it.  Ashlyn loves science so much, that I figured another trip was in order.  Since Ashlyn was going, Ella decided to the the science center too.  Joey, Katy, and the younger kids all went to the Children's Museum since we knew they would have fun there.
   The science center was pretty fun,  I was a little disappointed by how small it was.  I am spoiled by different Denver museums that we love that you could spend days in.  It was also very crowded with school groups on field trips which consisted of a lot of kids with little supervision.  We still had a great time checking out all the different areas.  They had a lot of interactive areas that the girls had fun with.  Our favorite part was a storm area which showed a movie and had interactive weather effects for all different types of storms.
   The rest of the group had a really good time at the Children's Museum.  After our museum time, we picked up my grandma and had a really good lunch at Chelsea's Kitchen.  The food was wonderful.  We ended our afternoon visiting with my grandma and spending time in the backyard .  It was a great day.

Checking out what a brain really looks like


This was the girls favorite part.  They put on these special helmets and were able to move a ball with their brain waves.

This allowed you to move the magnifying glass over the human body and see what it looks like in the inside

Ashlyn got to use her strength to pull herself up



This was an area that had a screen with these animate robots that you could interact with

Making a vortex

I think this area is to demonstrate erosion
