Maryland Science Center

We took advantage yesterday of a FREE day for homeschoolers at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore. It was great fun. Musa's friend Reid rode with us and we met the rest of the Arnold family there. We started in the Newton Room and the kids had a blast. Then onto the Dinosaur Room where Loretta was in heaven practicing her archaeologist skills. I thought she was going to faint she was so excited. Musa and Reid loved the "tornado maker" in the weather room. The Human Body area was lots of fun and created many giggles with the fart, vommit, and burp sound maker. We ended the day in the Kids Room. Loretta joyous being able to pour water in the water room and Musa happily played in the submarine nearby. Mom sat and rested her feet on the bench!! Musa said his favorite was the Newton Room and of course the Bed of Nails.

The long 2 hour ride home was exciting to say the least. As the remenants of Hurricane Frances blew through our area it created numerous tornadoes. Every fifteen minutes or so the emergency message would come on the radio with another warning from around the area. I just prayed I wouldn't have to take cover in a ditch!! We made it home safe and sound.

Loretta fell asleep last night watching a National Geographic documentary about the oldest city ever uncovered by archaeologist's in Peru. She kept sitting up saying, "Oh, Man, that is waht I want to do when I grow up.
