We are almost always in a rush or only have a few hours for the Discovery Science Center, but this was the only thing on the agenda for Magan and the kids on this day. Magan said that Davis kept trying to rush them from place to place, but once she convinced them that they were there till it closed, they all settled down and enjoyed all the many areas of this center. And apparently they had many craft areas, which seem to be a favorite for all of my guys. They all had a bag of things they made that they were bursting to show me each and every one after work. One of the things we all had a laugh about was the "Piggy" that Sam and Ruby made from recyclable stuff. But I think it was actually a "Doggy", we just didn't see it right the first time.
There was one show the science center put on, and they asked if there was a scout there...Davis hand went up (Yes, Sam is also a scout, but introverts have a hard time raising hands in a crowd of more than 1 people). So Davis was selected to help start some fires, and that guy has some experience. He was very excited to help, and the guy leading the experiment was also an eagle scout.
Everyone caught the bus again and met me at "Tupelo Honey" restaurant down near where I was working. The Sweet Tea Chicken was Deelicious. But afterwards was the bigger treat...Ben and Jerry's ice cream for dessert. Sam, knowing his Dad, asked if we could get two waffle cones to share, and I said, "No, you just each get your own". The kids all know that we have to share a lot, but it was funny and well worth it when the vacation magic comes out and they realize they each get their own...and even with the chocolate dipped cone with sprinkles.
