Trip to OMSI

We took the kids out of school Wednesday and went to Portland to go to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). We have a family pass that will expire in December, and we wanted to go again before that happened. We stopped by the temple on the way so the kids could walk around it.

We spent the rest of the day at OMSI. The kids love it there. Leilani decided that if we could go to OMSI more often, then it wouldn't be so bad if we had to live in Portland someday.
They played in the space ship and launched bottle rockets.They ripped and folded paper cups to make them fly.They played in the Chemistry lab and the Physics lab.
They played in several different water areas.

They touched a rat and a boa constrictor.

They aged themselves on camera (it shows up better when the picture is bigger) and pretended to be chipmunks and raccoons. They did a Mongoose puppet show and so much more.

We also went to the visiting exhibit: Ends of the Earth - From Polar Bear to Penguin. They got to climb in a polar bear den and become penguins.




It was a really fun day, but traffic coming home was horrible, and we were very tired when we got home!
