Family Fun Day...Friday July 3rd

Shawn FINALLY got a day off, so we decided that we wanted to have a Family Fun Day. Shawn picked the Science Center to start our day with. We loaded up the truck and headed out. Zach had only been here once, on a field trip and Shawn has never been here before. For me...well I have been here on many field trips, as a teacher.

Here are Shawn and Zach building circuits. Shawn used to build homes when we lived in Happy Jack, so the home building exhibits were fun for him.

Here is Zach making electricity by spinning the wheel to turn on the light bulb.
While we were here we decided to see the LEGO Castle exhibit. Zach has been to LEGOLand a few times, so he was VERY excited to see the different castles and dragons made from Lego's.

I thought this wall was so neat. Morgan and I stood behind it and the drops fell on our silhouettes, then when we moved they fell to the bottom of the screen. Shawn captured a great photo here of Miss Morgan!

Zach was a little...ok A LOT nervous to lay on the Bed of Nails. We told him that it would not hurt because of how close the nails were together. He finally did it!

After our fun filled morning at the Science Center. We headed back home to pick up the kids bags and then went to meet my parents. They took the kids for the night and went swimming. Shawn and I headed to Maricopa to Shawn's sister's house and BBQ with them. Shawn's sister, Danielle and her husband just bought a Wii so they wanted us to come over an play. Well if anyone knows my hubby, that's what he likes to do in his spare time at home. So of course he did NOT let anyone beat him at ANY game. When we finally decided to start the grill, the weather changed and it started pouring down rain. We had about a 15 minute break to grill and then it was raining again. What a fun time we had!
