St. Louis Science Center

Last night it rained (thunderstorms too!) and more was expected today so we looked for something to do inside.  So we went to the St. Louis Science Center.  The kids got a kick out of the alien guy outside made of recycled material so I made them stand by it and look to the sky like he is.  This is outside the planetarium.  
Inside there were a ton of exhibits and the planetarium was connected to the Science Center via a cool bridge over the freeway.  Watch out speeders, the kids can see how fast you are going and stand right over you as you speed by.  We saw a planetarium show on constellations.  There were many exhibits the kids loved:  feeling an earthquake (wait, can't we do that at home?), building an arch, moving Mars rovers, and the list goes on!  This is the amount ($5,045,000) that it would take to send all five of us to the moon!
 Waiting on our mats for the planetarium show.
 A moving t-rex exhibit!
A game called mind ball.  The more relaxed you were the more the ball went in your favor.  Anna won against Olivier.  I won against Mason.  I just thought about the planetarium show and wanting to fall asleep under the stars!




Were were there almost all day, and ended with seeing an IMAX movie on pandas that we all loved!
