The day before Wyatt's arrival we all played hooky from work and school and spent our final day as a family of three playing. We started off with a belly picture since we kept forgetting to take them. Hannah Claire joined in on the fun.
After some smooches we headed to Chick-fil-a for some breakfast before heading down to the McWane Science Center. Thanks to Rick and Bubba, we had some free passes and we decided to take advantage of them. It was lots of fun and we even got to see friends from HC's school (and her teacher Mrs. Karen) on a field trip there. We had a blast exploring! We started off in the aquarium where Daddy touched a a shark and a stingray. The ladies passes on that experience. HC did get in the mouth of a fish.
After that we headed to the top floor and started making our way down. Up top Hannah Claire played on the playground, walked through a maze, built a ramp for a ball to roll down, showed up some 8 year old kid on a jumping machine, played with a ginormous light bright and even went down a huge slide to the next floor down.
One of my favorite things is getting to do the weather on the green screen but HC has zero interest in that. She also was not interested in standing inside the tornado this time around. She however was big on digging for fossils. The only problem is that gravel kept getting in her flip flops. Such a diva!
Shane and HC got in the wind tunnel after battling for their turn with a bunch of pushy kids. Dad stood his ground and didn't let the 10 year olds win. HA! Those boys couldn't handle the peak winds at 75 mph. Of course a very strong little girl had to prove them weaklings. She enjoyed it at first but by the end she was holding on.
Down on the first floor was where HC had the most fun. Our little scientist played in the water for a long time experimenting with the test tubes.
We all got into the action at the bubble station. We made some huge bubbles. Daddy and HC even got to stand inside a bubble (until some little hands had to reach out and pop it).
If you ask Hannah Claire what her favorite thing at McWane was she will tell you driving. What she is talking about is driving the space ship. I think she spent more time here than anywhere else. She also got in the captain seat and would not move. The other kids just had to wait.
We still have no idea how this thing really works but supposedly you put on the head strap and move the ball with your mind. Well, HC and Daddy tried it out. Dad was winning at first but HC got her game face on and started moving the ball on Dad.
The bed of nails was a big attraction too. HC tried it out first. She was a little unsure but had no qualms about raising Dad up on them.
The dynamic duo had races with the wheelie things. HC was two for two in her victory over Daddy in these races. The girl is good, what can we say. Ha!
