Abby is a huge fan of the St. Louis Science Center or as she calls it "the center." This past week with Auntie Sally in tow we made the trek to the center for some hands on fun. Best part the center is Free! Being a school day we had the place to ourselves. We parked near the planetarium and took the bridge to the center so Abby could check out all the cool astronaut memorabilia they have, sorry no pics of it. Abby loves astronauts. Plus there are a lot of hands on activities on the bridge for kids. Most have scientific reasons for being there, Abby just thought they were for playing with.
Traffic accident!

Complete failure... we should have brought Daddy.

We made a virtual fish
Plus one of Abby's favorite rooms, dinosaurs! They have real fossils from different dinosaurs found in the US plus models of those dinosaurs so the kids can identify them.
In this picture Abby is holding part of the frill from a triceratops. There are a few volunteers in this room too and since no one else was there Abby was able to ask questions and take a lot of time learning about the bones.
In another area is a model tornado, Noah loved it.
It freaked Abby out, this was as close as she would get and this took a while.
We watched a show while we were there call Splat! we've seen it multiple times. This time there was a small audience and Abby even volunteered! She had to hold a cup while water was dropped from 60 feet above and she had to catch it.
You can kind of see the water drops coming down.
They also have a bird exhibit, with a ton of hands on exhibits. She loved it.
