Last day of vacation

Today the girls and I decided to celebrate the last day of Isabel's summer vacation with a little road trip. Our plan had been to go to the Children's Museum, but when we arrived it was closed... so we moved on to Maloka: a fabulous science museum. The girls and I had a fantastic time.

We spent an hour in the sensory room walking up a musical ladder with lights, creating our own gym, and making all sorts of science experiments (including 'witches boogers' and 'crazy bouncing balls'). Then we moved on to the electricity section and learned about mazes. We 'crash tested' cars. We spoke across the long hallway via an 'old fashioned' phone. We explored the inside of the brain. And then the highlight was definitely digging for dinosaur bones. The museum was completely empty as most activities only begin in the late afternoon... but one of the animators made an exception and opened up the dinosaur pit just for the girls. I did not get too many photos (as I only had my phone)... but the images make me smile so here they are. Most definitely a perfect way to wrap up our summer vacation where we go to enjoy so much beautiful time together as a family... even though Joshua was ridiculously busy, we had sunshine and the kids and I spent all our time out in the parks. Pure bliss.
