Mazes

Yesterday I took the kids to the Adventure Science Center.  It'd been a few months since we'd been there but this week has been too warm and humid to be outside if there isn't water (like a pool) to keep cool.

The current temporary exhibit is mazes.  Carter loves to do mazes on paper.  He is so good at them too.  He is always looking ahead and rarely goes in the wrong direction.  So this exhibit was perfect for him!  There were all sorts of mazes - life-size mazes made from tarps, puzzle mazes, rope mazes that you carabine yourself to, and all sorts of other ones.

Carter and I worked together to figure this one out.  Here are the directions:

And here is the actual maze with Carter at the finish.

There was a smaller tarp maze in the preschool area with instruments set up throughout it that were fun (and loud).

A spinning maze that the kids just wanted to spin :)

The science center wasn't too crowded when we got there but after a couple of hours, I was starting to have trouble keeping my eyes on both boys because there were just too many people.  Before leaving we ventured up to the top of the Adventure Tower for the first time.  Carter made it to the very, very top.

I took this picture one set of steps lower (downtown is in the background).
