Since we will be moving in 4 days, I wanted to catch the few last things to do here that we have not yet attempted. So yesterday we set out for the
Science Center. It was a beautiful day. We got a great parking spot and went in through the planetarium.
I had been to the Science Center once before, but never to this side. It had lots of fun, vintage space toys. I especially loved the Leave it to Beaver space game:
nice huh? I like the pickle jar over his head. We saw how fast the cars were going and learned about all kinds of birds. I really enjoyed playing the laser harp. It was so easy. No strings!
In one of the rooms the chairs are like something out of Dr. Seuss. Watching Lizzy attempt to get up on them was quite amusing. I think she liked them. After the Science Center, we went to the Zoo so I could pet the stingrays.
They were slimy but friendly. My friend calls them the "stinkrays" because your whole arm stinks after you're done. It was fun though. Then we ran into some of the 200 missionaries having their preparation day in Forest Park. I felt bad for them since it was a rather warm day and a lot of the people were abstaining from sensible clothing. We saw some animals and finished our visit off with the hippos.
I love watching Lizzy get excited over the hippos! Oh, and in case anyone wants to know what Daniel looks like at work, you are in luck! I snapped this pic just as he was coming out.
That was pretty much our day! We had fun. Then Megan (She is one of the CTR 4s I taught) made me a going away gift. So her family came over to present it to me. It was so sweet. She gave me a hug and kiss and asked me for both as well.
