OMSI Camp and OMSI Play

Levi attended OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and industry) camp again this year, only instead of Rockets, he did wizardry and potions. They learned magic tricks and cool chemistry potions. It was every day, 9-5, for a week. The bad part about the whole thing was going into Portland, during rush hour. But, even worse than that was 2 weeks later (this past week) I got a photo radar ticket in the mail! Apparently, I was going 55mph on a highway that isn't a 55 mph zone, only 45. I was so mad. $260!! That could have paid for Levi's OMSI camp all over again! That is highway robbery.....literally! Luckily I got the fine down to $195 for pleading guilty.

A few days later we took Emily to OMSI on the friend pass. We had a great time, only Adele did NOT like the dinosaurs from China. A little to freaky for her to see all those bones and roaring machines. Kaelan thought that they were pretty cool though! He wanted climb in with them.

Do you see his huge grin! These Dino's are COOL!

I always knew my boys were part Dinosaur!

Especially this one!

Calder is the resident Dinosaur expert,
he knows all those names that everybody else just glosses over.

Kaelan was fascinated by this roaring T-Rex

Building buddies. Levi had a great time playing with Adele.
He took her all over the Science playground, showing her things.

Kaelan loved the white sand,
or should I say getting in and out and in and out and in and out of the sand. *sigh*
