Tuesday :)

On Tuesday, we sort of did a hodge podge of things starting with a trip to the Taco Bell Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. Basically it is a children's museum that also has 4D movies and special exhibits that change once a month. There are a lot of cool science related displays that we enjoyed messing around with including the "shake shack" which was a room that simulated earthquakes and made me a little sick :P Here is mom in the Hurricane simulator ~


Micah enjoyed the Smokey the Bear campsite area and particularly enjoyed hauling the wood around... go figure :)

The current special exhibit was a hockey exhibit exploring, what else, the science of hockey. One of the things you could do (besides the reflex tester, skating simulator, and the full size Zamboni) was choose colors and a team to support. The computer took your picture and then using your colors projected this life size on a 3D hockey player mounted on the wall~


Micah had to do it too, of course ~


Nate opted for the goalie simulator that shot pucks at you from three different spots on the wall (think tennis ball cannon :P). He saved most of them!


We switched gears that evening and headed to the Angels game in Anaheim~


It was great! Beautiful weather, great view, free giveaway hats, and a good game too!


Micah was SO into pictures that night :P

Why on earth would a woman who stayed in the closet through Ike last year climb into a hurricane simulator this year?
