Bekah Visits Science Central

A week ago at this time...I was not at work.

Love a vacation day!!

You all remember my friend, Julie. Well, she and her family like to visit Science Central, which is up in Ft. Wayne. I'd seen some pictures of the adventures they had and thought it might be fun to go on a field trip with them! So last Thursday was the day!

It ended up being an outing for just the girls...and what fun we had!

This is Science Central: Inside, they have all kinds of stations, where you can learn about...well...a bunch of stuff. They have one area that's designated for kids seven and under, and that's where we stayed. Esther's favorite is the slide. I should have counted how many (dozen) times she went down that thing! And usually - headfirst. It works better to pose for a picture that way.
And after a few times...it's even more exciting!
During slide breaks, Esther did some other fun stuff - like play a duet with her Mama.
Followed by a little solo.
A little play station for attaching numbers and shapes to glass - with bubbles. So fun!
She tried valiantly to peel off what Julie put up...but it was kind of on the other side! Giggle.
Where is Esther???
Oh! There she is! Best way to have a water fight...totally encased in glass. No one gets wet!
HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
The bubble machine. It had been used so much that it was hard to get a good bubble going...but we tried. Oh yes. We. I'm an overgrown kid.
I call this piece "Bekah and camel." Mostly because I don't know what else to call it.
Julie wanted me to try on a smock. So of course, I did. But they're not really made for big heads. So removal of said smock required removing earrings, putting down all bags, and trying not to pop my head off!
I wanted to play too!!
After we were done at Science Central, Julie took me to Cheddars for lunch. I'd never been there before. YUM!! We had onion rings (they make a tower out of them - so cute!) and then for dessert...this huge cookie smothered in ice cream and chocolate syrup. Oh my word. I need to do eight workouts to counter that!

After lunch, we went to Target to shop for a bit and then I came home! It was a fantastic day. Thank you so, SO much, Julie and Esther, for taking a day out to spend with me!

Just so you know, as I got ready this morning I thought - man I wish it was last week and I could have a vacation day with my girls again!! LOL

(Wouldn't mind another one of those cookies either. Just sayin.)
