We took my Aunt out to eat and she wanted to go where they served big root beer floats. And they were big! I was glad that we got two to share!
All the cousins before the big Easter egg hunt.
Aunt Shauna giving out last minute directions. First we had a younger children's hunt, then the older children had a chance.
Nathan is helping out his cousin Jack to find some eggs.
We also went to the St. Louis Science Center with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a great museum. My dh shocked the children by sliding down the bannister.
We made our own St. Louis arch. It took a lot of people to hold it in place before the final piece was put into its place and the arch could stand on its own.
Aaron and I put together this foam space shuttle.
We spent a lot of time looking at this great ball machine. It was a 2 or 3 story affair that had the balls turning pinwheels or bouncing through targets or turning on machines.
We also participated in their Lego Mindstorms area. Here you had to program your robot to clean away the barrels from your area. We did very well. Nathan and Deborah were a team and Aaron and Stephen were a team. They programmed their robots and then they tested them out. Each robot had something wrong with the programming so the children had to figure out what they did wrong and reprogram it. In the end our two teams beat the other two teams and went one to battle each other out in a final round.
They had a fun exhibit on optical illuisions. Look Aaron has no body!
