Syd, Syd, the Science Kid

  

We finally made it to Science World today! Syd has been eager to go since we got here, and she wasn’t disappointed. 

We saw animal exhibits, met Stan the T.Rex, played in spaceships, built foam block castles, knocked down Keva block towers, conducted mini science experiments involving air pressure and water, and used all of our senses in the shadow room. It was a busy and fun-filled afternoon of playing and learning. 

Syd ran from one thing to another, she wanted to make sure she did everything she could get her hands on. The demos were really well-done and entertaining, and Syd loved riding on her own personal hovercraft. Nolie was her little shadow and excitedly followed her to each station. Of course, his favorite activities involved balls – throwing, blowing, rolling them.

   
    
   
It was also another good reason to take the water bus. We bought round-trip tickets for one company, but ended up waiting a while for it after we just missed the previous one. Luckily, the weather was beautiful and sunny, but Syd was hungry and grumbled about waiting so long instead of being able to hop on the other company’s water bus. Last lesson of the day for mom and dad: it might be worth paying a little extra for one-way convenience!
