Exploratorium trip in San Francisco

Last week Aunt Jennie, Uncle Tim and the girls were able to stay for a day when they drove home from Oregon, so we decided to take all the kids to San Francisco to the Exploratorium. It is a really fun place with lots of exhibits to touch and play with different things!

When you picked up this sand and placed it on the pile it stuck up in little spiny formations!

The plate in the center was spinning and you could place the circles on it and see where they would land.
Here you could pick disks that were all weighted differently and guess which one would win the race. Uncle Tim is helping the boys out.

Here was a cool exhibit that you could use different tools to shape the sand as it spun around.


Grammy Bunny and all the kids are pushing on this exhibit and a puff of smoke would go up into the air.
There was a place that showed a dust tornado. This is the kids running around it...
...and what it looks like without five little ones running around.
The had a place where you could make huge bubbles
Here are Kailey and Uncle Tim playing with the bubbles
And all the kids (except Bella) got to choose 4 colors and make their own drawings by swinging the platform around. Here is the start to Jacksons.
Beautiful girls! Megan and Isabella!

More beautiful girls! Aunt Jennie holding Zoey and Isabella!
