Grossology

On Thursday Manuel took the day off and we took off to Phoenix early in the morning. Miracle to us the business we had to do there took a whole fifteen minutes we were thrilled so we decided to make a day out of it. We headed off the the Arizona Science Center. I had never been there. It was soooo cool. We went to the grossology area first. Oh my gosh if you have boys this is the place to be. It teaches them all about bodily fluids, functions, smells you get the idea. It was very hands on and quite smelly but very fun. The kiddos ran around like little crazy heads and were laughing and screaming and making funny faces it was a blast.

Next we went to the Narnia exhibit and it was just beautiful. Isaac played in the fake snow I think that was his favorite part. In my opinion it was beautiful but a little expensive for what is was. Then if was off to the Earth exhibit. I think we stayed there almost as long as the grossology exhibit. The kids stood on this big platform and they were able to feel every kind of weather from the heat of a wildfire to the rain and wind of a hurricane and the tremble of an earthquake. I think they did that like five or so times they loved it.

So after a few hours there all of us thoroughly exhausted made the trek back up the hill home. What a day it was awesome.

Garrett loved every minute!! Thank you for taking him with you. And, thank you for spending so much time with him...it's amazing to see the difference when he's able to spend time with you and the boys and when he's just with J & J, he really, really enjoys himself when he's with you guys! Tell Manuel to take it easy - he'll need a hip replacement, next, if he's not careful.
Love to you all!
