Weird Science

When the cold air moves in and the kids get restless, we look for something fun to do as a family. This weekend, Joe had a rare Saturday off so we found ourselves heading South to explore the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore. 

 It's entrance sits overlooking the Baltimore Harbor, and even on a bitter cold day, the view from the front steps is spectacular!  Daddy sure is proud of his hometown - how is it he says it, Bal-mor?
 The kids enjoyed learning all about Dinosaurs (shown below sitting in a dinosaur nest)
 and other inticing topics such as the various types of noises humans make (I bet you can guess what their favorite was!)  Obviously, they are very curious at this age!
 Daddy, the weather man, even found his own exhibit to enjoy, and picked up an idea to share for Kate's upcoming science project...Tornadoes!
 Katie learned about physics while laying on a bed of nails...
 and Conor tried out a space suit when learning about gravity. 
 All of our newly acquired knowledge made us hungry, so we continued our adventure along the harbor.
 It was Daddy's idea to introduce Conor to Hooter's.  I swear it is the fried pickles he is giving a thumbs up to in this picture.
