Final Friday

We spent our final Friday in town doing some things that can only be done here.

first up, we went to the science center

 the dinosaur exhibition is still going on and the kids loved it

 I've created a monster of my own!  Cooper used my phone all day to take pictures!

 I think this was their favorite place in this city

 we also went to the aquarium section of the center

 Cooper taking more pictures

 he touched the crab shells

 seeing "Smiley" one more time

 After the Science Center, lunch &grocery shopping...it was time to go to the pool

to say they have enjoyed having a pool out their back door is an understatement!

Good Friday

Today was the start of Spring Break for Reagan and Cooper.  We also had a showing on our house, so we needed an activity...off to the Science Center we go.  Reagan didn't get to see the dinosaur exhibit last time we were there and she was very excited to see it today!

She found they toy demetriodon to go with the life size replica

 digging for fossils

 watching the dinosaur movie

 playing in Dino-Land

 making silly shadows on the way to the aquarium

the real reason we visit the Science Center ~ the stingrays

petting Smiley

moving on to the exhibits

Busy as a Bee

Today was a busy day for the Sandidges ~ it leaves me wondering how I ever had the time to work?!?

Cooper and I took a field trip to Chick Fil A, Target and Lowes

 While Reagan was at a Girl Scout outing, Cooper and I visited the Science Center's Dinosaur attraction.  He loves dinosaurs, but wasn't sure about the moving, roaring, life size replicas!

 we watched a movie about the dinosaurs

 he was too into the movie to smile for the camera

 playing with the dinosaur display

 we then went and visited the aquarium portion of the center

 Smiley the Stingray was there to greet us!

 Cooper petted Smiley 

moving on to the science portion of the center

 oops, had to go back to watch the feedings for the sea horses

 Smiley was showing off, swimming on his (her?) back

 now, more science
