You visited the Adventure Science Center for the first time yesterday afternoon. Due to your whopping three and a half hour nap, we didn’t get there until a little over an hour before they were set to close, so your momma, being the frugal momma that I am, asked if there was an “hour before closing discount,” and indeed there was. That is really satisfying to me: fun at a discount. We met Sara Jane and her brood there, and before I could even pay, the boys had dragged you by the hand to a room of fun… yards away from me. You never even looked back. You were off to fun with other kids, and you didn’t need me. Not until one of the displays made a loud whooshing noise, then you came running, face contorted with fear, arms stretched out in desperation for me to pick you up quickly to save you from that vicious thing making the noise that was sure to get you. That sounds like an exaggeration, but really it was not. While I’m not sure you learned anything (most of the exhibits are geared for older kids), you were definitely hands-on, and you had a blast. Daddy joined in on the fun, surprising us after a meeting in the area, and both your proud parents got to follow along behind you as you tottered all over the museum exploring.
