We visited the basement area first, checked the planetarium show times (there was a show in the afternoon featuring Big Bird and Elmo and talked about the sun, moon, and stars. John was sure Elmo was right there looking at us!), and visited the train display.
Then it was off to the dinosaur display where the boys helped in a fossil dig:
Pretended they were dinosaurs, complete with costumes, and a nest and eggs:
were in the dinosaur displays - now you see us ...
now you don't ...
Now you see us:
The boys LOVED climbing in this race car and John knew it would go really fast (if we were on a race track!):
Visiting the Rock Stars Cars and Guitars display, John found the microphone in the karaoke section. We both sang along with Hannah Montana:
Taking a spin:
Ryan is playing air guitar in front of the guitar display:
Dressed up for a performance:
The Water Works area on the top floor:
The construction area on the same floor. Ryan could not get enough of playing with this wheel barrow and foam rocks:
Yep - you could really turn the handles and make it move across the floor!
This map was on the floor at the Egypt display and of course we made the boys stop and point to Ethiopia:
Talking on the phone to Barbie in the reception area of the Barbie display:
Check out the eyes - does this look like an Ethiopian Barbie or what!?
Playing dress up in the Barbie Fashion show area:
My boys do love frills:
This is the area John requested we visit again before leaving. It was in the basement next to a real glass art display. These pieces are plastic and could be taken out and moved all over.
We took this picture as we left. Notice Ryan is making his dinosaur pose at the bottom:
What an incredible adventure we had over five days! We loved seeing new and old friends at the America World Reunion (which I am beyond excited to be hosting in our home town next year!) and all the stops along the way!!
