Imaginarium Trip

We did a preschool trip ( I was in charge and we were doing the sky- stars, planets, weather) to the Imaginarium on Monday. The kids loved it. We were there for something like 3 hours. They spent a great deal of time on the slide (I thought it was a glacier slide, so that is what I called it but then later saw a sign saying it was a sea cave- oh well). We also got to touch sea creatures with the help of an employee. We played in the "planetarium" room (there weren't any constellations or anything, just a dark room with black light and lots of pictures). This picture of Keith with his hands on the electric ball was in that room.


We also got to play with the bubbles, and as you can see, Keith got a really great one. Rachel was never able to get it much past her shoulders. But she did go play with the bubble table, with the bubble wands. Shortly after I took this picture, somehow she inhaled instead of blowing, and she swallowed some. She didn't like that much, but Mommy to the rescue! I had a bottle of water with me and gave her a drink and she was back ready to go!

They also had this big wooden polar bear that i put Keith and Rachel on just before we left (they had been asking for awhile) and took their picture up there.

This is the glacier slide/sea cave. They LOVED it! Keith's face was so red and he had sweat just pouring off his head!

Towards the end, they had a live chick demonstration. They had incubated and hatched some chicks, and let the kids sit on the ground with their feet touching and let the chicks run around in their "corrals." Keith and Rachel didn't have very thick legs and a jumpy little chick, so their chick kept jumping out of his corral. And I had Thomas (he had been in the front pack earlier, but I had taken him out to feed him and change his diaper, so he was just being held, so I wasn't much help to run after their renegade chick. So theirs was the first one put away, which was hard for Keith. But I tried to get him to hold it the last time it ran away, and he jumped up and ran away. I think he was a bit nervous about it. Anyway, it was lots of fun.
