Curious Minds part 2: Shy Girl






We took the kids back to the Pacific Science Center because we had such a good time last time. We worked our way from the exhibits from last to first because we usually end up missing the last ones when the kids start melting down and we have to leave. Apollo enjoyed watching a ball that was suspended in the air by a force of wind ~ until he discovered that he could slap it down and then go chase the ball. That was more fun until he had to wrestle some kids for the ball, but he is quite a fierce competitor. Bryce's favorite was watching the naked mole rats in their city of tubes. There was one that was trying to barricade himself (maybe herself) in the very furthest tube by digging up the paper fluff that they live in and blocking the entrance. We watched and laughed as this NMR would dig frantically just to have another NMR barge through. It was hilarious! Parker enjoyed the mechanical things. He liked watching the robots and took off once to escape to the dinosaur room. We left shortly after that. Halea loved playing in the water with the fountain and the the toys. She also warmed up enough to start enjoying to toddler toy room until some bigger girls came, and then she became shy again and sucked her thumb observing them. I LOVE that I have a shy girl.
