Science Center

Saturday afternoon we took the kids, including 2 of Christina's friends, to the Orlando Science Center. We got a family membership, so we can go anytime now. It was really neat. We only got to about 1/3 of it in 4 hours. Most of that time was spent in the Daytona 500 exhibit! Caleb didn't want to leave it at all! There are no pictures of Christina because she and her friends took off on their own once we walked in the doors. Mike is driving a simulator car race. An authentic Jeff Gordon Race car!! He actually drove this in the Daytona 500 a few years back. They could race cars down the hill. This was Zachary's favorite game. They could race cars around a giant racetrack. This was Caleb's favorite. Here they are "flying" an airplane.
Caleb is trying very hard to catch this ball. Zachary was fascinated by the dinosaur exhibit. Caleb however was not. He wouldn't go near any of the skeletons! This was a hurricane simulator. The wind gets up to 78.9 miles an hour. alot of fun. Daddy and Caleb 'flying' the airplane in the simulator. The boys thought it was funny to fly straight up in the sky, then nose dive into the ground. There is a big screen in front of you. Zachary is milking a cow! After the Science Center we went to dinner at a Japanese Restaurant. This is the first time the boys had eaten at a place where they cook the foods on the big cook top right in front of you. Zachary got into it, but Caleb didn't like the big fires. Mikey is eating a fried shrimp head. One of our favorite things at a sushi house. Here's the Chef. His hands are moving so fast you cant even see them!
After we got home the boys made Gingerbread cookies. They had a lot of fun decorating them. My floor is now decorated like the Cookies as well. Ahh, they DO love their sister. Today we had the pleasure of taking all the screens off the windows, and cleaning the MOLD out from them. YUCK. I was wondering if that could be causing some of Zachary's problems with his asthma. Every single outside window had a layer of mold under the screen. The windows inside our screen porch didn't have any mold. Every one is outside enjoying the beautiful weather! We even got Christina off the computer and away from her phone for a few minutes outside with us! Mikey put up our Christmas lights as well. We had a fun busy weekend. Tomorrow we have a parent teacher meeting for Zachary. His teacher is suggesting we put him in special reading/language classes. He is that far behind. I hope that once he is feeling better he will do better in school. I'm so glad they have these kinds of programs to get him caught up as early as possible. And how was your weekend?!
