A trip to the science center
Recently, per my older son Eitan’s request, we took the kids to the Pacific Science Center. This is a rather nice science center not far from downtown Seattle that they both like. It pales in comparison to the science centers in Paris and Munich, but it makes for a few hours of entertainment.
Nathan had a lot of fun with an echo tube – going to it numerous times and clapping or yelling.
Both of them had a lot of fun with the giant bubbles, though for some reason they were difficult to get started that day.
Eitan used a robot to play tic-tac-toe and Nathan was obviously frustrated at how long Eitan was taking.
Nathan and Eitan both had fun touching the sea creatures.
Of course I couldn’t resist taking out the macro lens for some butterfly shots. I didn’t get any great shots, but it was a few minutes of fun. I actually wish that I had the 180mm because butterflies look much cuter when they’re not so up close.
