Arizona Science Center

Let me say that the Arizona Science Center is WAAAYYYY cool! We had a great time yesterday--spent about 6 hours there. They have a huge Lego Castle Adventure exhibit going on right now. The kids got to build castles (ok, that didn't last long), joust a bit, dress up like knights and princesses, and look at some really neat Lego creations.

Other exhibits included learning about home construction, energy conservation and use, the human body, gravity, pressure, and so much more. Probably our favorite was the section on electricity and magnetic fields. We spent a lot of time there. To end our day we took in an IMAX show on migration--very cool. From whales to African wildlife to monarch butterflies to red crab on Christmas Island (very interesting segment), it was great fun.

Today we're just bumming around the resort for one more day. We'll be swimming, resting, and packing up for our long trek back to Texas in the morning. We'll be losing two hours on the trip so we plan to get off as early as possible. I'll be adding a few more videos from yesterday if you want to check them out.
