Science nerd alert

We visited our local planetarium recently! It's right up Kalobs alley, and I know Lincoln will soon follow in his footstep to love all things science/technology/space. In the picture above, they created their own mini tornado. 
Blowing the clouds. ( aka caldron) this was definitely Lincoln's favorite part.
Touching a plasma ball. I think that's what they are called. 
Looking into a microscope.  it was really neat and simple. You couldn't spend hours there, which is good, because a 20 month old has an attention span of like 3 minutes.  they have an incredible gift store filled with everything a curious little scientist could want. Grow your own rocks crystals, dinosaur excavation kits, solar system mobiles,,, you name it, they have it. I wanted to buy everything, for kalob actually :) for them to enjoy together. I think I'll be hitting it up before Christmas! Can't believe it's coming so soon!

  1. So much fun! Looks kind of like the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Have you guys been there? It is AMAZING!

  2. Sarah, we haven't! I don't think we've ever taken Lincoln to San Fran. Kalob and I love it though. Need to add it to our list I guess!
