The second trip we took during spring break was to Lansing, to stay with the lovely Ani and family. We all went to
Impressions Five Science Museum. We love this place! There's so much for the kids (and adults!) to do, from the water room, to the bubble room, to the light room, which oddly enough is a very dark place and so hard to get good pictures in. There's electrical circuits to build (Daddy's favorite part!), levers to compare, catapults to fling things, and pulleys to lift yourself or a friend with. It never seems like we have enough time there, they just about had to throw us out at closing time. We came home with model spaceships, a giraffe made from recycled pop bottles, a kit to make a soda/mentos fountain, and a rocket that, in theory, can be launched 100' into the air using baking soda and vinegar. So much fun and excitement crammed into one place!
Ani and I also went on a shopping trip to Joanne's and a LYS, of course, because we can never have too much stash. We then sent the husbands to the bar so we could get our craft on, only to find out that while I had packed a ton of supplies and even my sewing machine ('cause Ani's fancy machine scares me.), I managed to forget the machine's power cord. D'oh! The best laid plans.... Oh well, at least I managed to get some knitting done while Ani rocked out some awesome, but more about that tommorrow.
