Friday Fun Day

It has been awhile since we visited the dinosaur museum so we decided we better go. We were surprised to see a new little section just before entering the dinosaur section. It's a little discovery room with lots of fun things!

This was so interesting and funny! You try to shoot a basket while looking through these glasses that have prisms in them. The prisms make it look like the basket is farther to one side than it actually is. So it's funny to watch because one, the glasses are hilarious, and two, the shooter is way off! Your brain is supposed to adjust to the prism shift and after shooting around 15 times, you'll start making the basket. So interesting!

I just love it!

They had these tubes that continuously blow air and you can place items inside of different materials: coffee filters, paper water cups, paper bags, cupcake liners, etc. And then you can see how each items blows up the tube in different ways. We spent a long time here playing. It was fun for us all!


Asher looks a bit sleepy in this picture (with hair a bit disheveled) but he's still cute! :)

There were other things to discover and learn about as well, mostly for age groups older than our boys. But they found ways to be entertained and play even if it wasn't what was intended...

We headed off to the dinosaur museum where the boys had to go through the space tunnel multiple times singing "Twinkle Twinkle". And of course the erosion table is always lots of fun!

We always look forward to our Friday Fun Days and wish they'd come more often :)
