museum of science and industry

we started our 4th

by visiting the museum of science and industry

it's been a long time since we've taken the boys there

and they are at a great age for it!

my favorite area of the museum was the chemistry

and weather section

there were a lot of hands on experiments

they got to go in a wind tunnel showing the force of hurricane winds

create 'bucket lists'

and explore different aspects of the human body

one area that was really interesting

was the area that shows the details that a baby has

at different stages during pregnancy

it is amazing to see how real they look

and how many distinct features they have

even when they are SO very tiny!

we explored the full size plane

the cable cars

 

and the fabulous model train set up they have

the boys LOVED the U-505 submarine exhibit 

unfortunately there were no tours available to go inside of the sub

while we were there

but the boys wanted to watch the movies

and learn about it

and found it very interesting

ALMOST as interesting

as how hard it is to get set up to milk a cow

i don't foresee any of them getting asked to be a milker pit crew member anytime soon
