New Title: A FUN Day, thanks to Kristopher, who doesn't even live in Alabama, yet knows all the great kid museums to visit! Is that better, Kris?

This was MaryKate's favorite exhibit. It is "black sand" the little itty bitty black iron particles you find in regular sand separated. When you place it between the two strong magnets it "floats" you can build bridges and shapes in the middle, practically floating in the air yet when you grabbed it and pulled it away from the magnets it turns back into regular "sand". It was SOOO cool! JoJo is helping her in this picture.
Nikolai enjoyed bending and separating white light into separate colors.
MaryKate being the Wicked Witch of the West trying out the tornado.
Sara playing the xylophone.
Heather, Karl, MaryKate, Nikolai, Sara and Kevin blowing huge bubbles.
Sara practicing standing up, another feat she has been constantly doing since we got home... there must be something about that Alabama air.
The coolest technology ever! Shadow sensors! There were several "games" like these. One we did, if you stood still, like a tree, then a tree grew from your shadow! Soccer! Air Hockey! Psychedelic colors!



MaryKate built this track for the golf ball... look how proud she is!

All credit for this day should go to Kris for finding this place despite not being the one who had lived there... Just to set the record straigh :)
