Whirlwind July

I'm a little backlogged with posting, so I'll probably knock out a few posts tonight.  July has been busy with family, Lyme disease, travel for work, and general mayhem.  

A couple of weeks ago, Baby H and I went to the science museum, which she will talk about to anyone who will listen, and saw some of her favorite exhibits.  They includes the "space rocketship", the dinosaurs, the robots, and a computer lab that's hidden away with a bunch of kid-friendly games.  

I especially like playing with the Aibo dogs and programming an iRobot that you can send off running around a pit with blocks in it.  However, my favorite experience there involves my dad crashing a college robotics science experiment.  More on that in another post.  

Every time we go to the science museum, we find something new to play with. This time we discovered a new area of the museum that caters to younger kids and includes a bunch of hands-on activities. One was an air jet that suspends a ball overhead. That was cool for a while, but Baby H thought it was a lot more fun to use it as a giant hairdryer.

Another highlight included learning to brush your teeth with the big toothbrush.  Baby H has a flip-top head anyway, so getting to play with a mouth that opened wider than hers was unique.  Besides, it saves me from getting my jaws pried apart anytime curiosity strikes.

We love the museum!

Want to go with us sometime?
