Afternoon at the Museum of Nature and Science


It was a free day at the museum, so Brian took the day off of work and we made it a field trip for everyone but Hannah, who had on-site classes today.


We spent around two and a half hours at the space exhibit (no surprise there). It was the main thing we came for and we were not disappointed.


A popular game was "dock the space shuttle" using controls. There was an elderly gentleman who spent quite some time trying to dock his ship and he wasn't successful. So, I guess the kids who were less careful and refined in their skills shouldn't feel too bad that they couldn't do it, either.


Those tricky space shuttles.


There was a little time left to dash through two other exhibits- one on animals.



Outside the museum.


His license plate says "Mr. Bones".


And the last exhibit on the human body. This game uses brain waves to move a ball on some sort of grey strip. I guess the one with the stronger, more determined waves pushes the ball through the weaker one's goal. Wild.
