There was a break in the rain when we arrived at the Rocket Center so did some of the outdoor activities first. Carter and I rode the gravitron ride. Carter said it was super fun. He was a little too short for the Space Shot ride (which is one of those rides that shoots you up and drops down). I think both of us were okay with that :) I did put all the boys on the kiddie version of the ride though. Gray made it through one bouncy drop and we decided to get him off. He didn't cry but he had a look of terror on his face (though he we trying to smile through it and be happy like his big brothers).
It was empty at the Rocket Center today. We rarely saw other people - it was odd. But it was nice to not have to wait to do anything and not worry about losing anyone!
The boys kept crashing the space shuttle in the landing simulator ...
I tried to get a group shot of the boys with Saturn V. Gray just kept turning his back to me and saying "butt".
Then he did this ...
Eventually I got a picture with him facing me :)
Carter didn't want to climb the rock wall, but after I begged him to give it a try, he eventually did. Rylan was right at the minimum weight so I didn't push him to try it.
Carter made it about 2/3rds of the way up the intermediate wall before deciding he didn't think he could make it up all the way.
He made it up the easier wall without too much trouble!
The temporary exhibit was all about Archimedes.
After about 4 hours, Gray was more than ready for a nap and we headed out. We hadn't made it the Rocket Center in about 2 1/2 years so the boys didn't remember everything and really enjoyed it. Since we get in free with one of our museum memberships, I'm sure we'll be back.
