We made a quick visit to the St. Louis Science Center on Labor Day weekend. The Science Center is free so we can stop in for an hour or so. We actually went to see a movie playing at the Imax there about DDay. Scott, his parents and John went to that movie and I took the other kids to see a show in the planetarium. The planetarium show was cool and as an added bonus, I didn't have to chase John around in the dark during the show. Hooray! Here we are building an arch together.
The finished arch, plus a random kid who helped us work on it.
Matthew and Anna in the hurricane machine
Upsetting a smoke tornado
Working that hamster wheel
Everyone took a turn - as it were. :)
Grant had a little trouble getting it going
That's what big brothers are for.
So we had fun at the science center, even though it was a short visit.
Random thought about big brothers: Anna read a book recently about a big brother who teases his little sister. Anna said she liked it 'cause it was about brothers and sisters but added that her big brother doesn't tease her that much. So I guess she couldn't relate. Matthew is a nice big brother. Just today he was telling me a long list of grievances he had against little people (siblings and other neighborhood friends) causing him problems in the afternoon. He puts up with a lot - like people breaking his Lego creations - but still tries to be a nice brother.
