Northwest-the middle

Spending time with family was our goal this vacation and we had so much fun with them.

Swinging together, Charlotte and Lucy.

Walking back to grandma and grandpa's house.
One day we ventured to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). We had so much fun. The Science Playground (where there were tons of activities for kids) was our favorite place. There was a nature area where you could...

sit in a log with raccoons and foxes

become a chipmunk

sit in a nest

roar like a bear in a cave
And then there was an area for kids under 24 months, Charlotte and I hung out there for a bit. Tables set up to build and connect.
explore connecting and building
We also explored some of the other exhibits.
Elanor, the weather girl. We lucked out and had beautiful, rain-free days.

The watershed, this was my favorite area. Elanor and I manipulated the sand and rocks to stop the flow of water or to let it flow freely.

Sophie and I working on breaking our dam.

Fun! That is all I can say.

I would love to have one of those water, sand and rock tables in my basement. At least if they were self cleaning.
