Carnegie Science Center

A couple weeks ago, we went with some friends to the Carnegie Science Center for a field trip.  I love having the membership. (So glad we bought it in Ohio too.  It was WAY cheaper there!)  We can go whenever we want, and the only cost is $3.00 for parking!
 
We decided to start in the Sports Works building because we notoriously run out of time to do everything we want to over there.
 
We have our admissions bands.  Ready, Set . . . have fun! Oh, yes . . . and learn!

Bud can't wait to get inside!
 The kids taking turn on the You-Yo (the human yo-yo).




All the kids started out adventurous on the rock climing wall . . .

Sparkle made it about 16 feet.
Butterfly made it about 17 feet and panicked.  The helper had to assiste her down.  Tried cropping this photo three times, but it won't save.  The "boy" in the red is a dummy.  Children aren't randomly allow to climb just anywhere!
This is about as far as Bud made it, but he had fun just climbing that far.

This kept them occupied for a long time!

Everyone took a turn on the Bounce exhibit, but they weren't as in to it this year.  Don't think anyone attempted a flip this time.

We played a little table hockey.

Our friends' won a voucher to the science center and shared some of their winnings so we could watch the IMAX film, To the Actic.  We all really enjoyed it!

Bud had a few minutes with the remote control vacuum cleaner.

We love the miniature railroad exhibit.  They've serviced it and updated it since we were there in the fall.

Love the Pittsburgh backdrop!
