Another fun Spring Break adventure was heading to Lousiville with Robin and Carson to visit the Science Museum. It had been years since I'd been to a science museum so this was a treat for me, as well as the kids. I love the interactive nature of that kind of learning environment.
Carson is one full year older than Hadley so he told all kinds of pre-school stories on our trip to Louisville. These two kept us in stitches. Is it not precious to eavesdrop on preschool aged kids?
The water tables were certainly a hit; what kid doesn't like playing in water, right? We ponchoed both kids up so that they hopefully wouldn't soak themselves. They built dams and used PVC pipe to watch water flow along different paths.
Then came the life-sized bubble. This dude took several tries to get right and even then it seemed nearly impossible to actually pull the chain hard and low enough to get the bubble up to eye level before popping. Hadley was so intense in her trying, though.
Carson and Hadley tried passing a floating ball back and forth using air shooting from a tube. It was much harder than it looked.
It was nice to let the kids run from one activity to the next and we could actually talk and have adult interaction while they played. Robin and I both have another little one at home so spending time focusing on each of our oldest kiddos was a nice change of pace.
With Louisville being the home of the Kentucky Derby, an artist designed dozens of multi-colored horse statues. They are proudly displayed in various places around downtown and Hadley and Carson had to stop at each one we passed and rub and pet them.
Our supper treat was dining at the Ole' Spaghetti Factory and getting to eat in the train. The kids thought that was super cool. Robin and I laughed, remembering our trips to Jr. BETA and BETA convention in Middle and High School. Every year we ate at this exact restaurant and it has stayed true to its historical nature. Nice to know some things never change. Such a fun day with my precious friend and her sweet boy!
