In the wax museum everybody can see themselves

I took the boys back to my old hometown this weekend while Dean went on a golf trip with a different sort of boys. We took in the local science museum (thanx, Aunt Jackie, for the gift that keeps on giving), and fun was had by all.

Jack insists on taking this magnifying glass with him on any scientific endeavor (another AJ gift!)

What a fishy nose Jack has!

They learned about sonic range.......and magnets....

...and even created their own electric circuits

Harry won the raffle for a new book by the author doing the presentation

and she signed books for each of them

Harry took in several displays relating to senses,

including this huge interactive mouth

He took a quiz

and, as is typical, getting the answers wrong was more fun than getting them right - the boy cannot resist a pun! (click on the picture for a bigger view)

He had more luck with ones he could actually reach

I wonder what the biggest pin structure is? They would totally dig it - I wish this one would have allowed them to do their faces or bodies

This is my favorite picture

They are really into making way for themselves lately....back to the taking turns lessons, I guess.
