Sharks and the Space Shuttle

The kids are off school this week . . .

. . . so we paid another visit to the California Science Center (with Daddy this time).

My favorite part was seeing the Space Shuttle Endeavor.  It was amazing to get up close to that enormous, incredible shuttle, and learn all sorts of interesting things about it.  The kids were ready to move on after a few minutes, but Phillip and I could have happily poked around that exhibit for an hour.  I still vividly remember seeing the shuttle flying over our town on the back of a 747 on its way to the Science Center three years ago.

Another favorite exhibit was the giant aquarium.  The kids were particularly intrigued by the eel and the sharks, and it was fun to watch those creatures swim over us as we stood in the transparent tunnel.

Joy and Anna also loved pretending to cook in one of the Discovery Rooms.  Like mother like daughters.  Meanwhile, Phillip took the boys outside to an exhibit that sprays water everywhere.  To each their own.
