California Science Center - Admission is FREE!!!

I took KJ and Kasen to the California Science Center.  They loved playing the instruments to create their on MIDI music file.  There was a guitar, piano and drums.  It was a lot of fun to be in a trio with them.

Then we went to the solar skateboard exhibit.  Definitely their favorite.  Two controllers move the lights onto solar panels on the top the mini skateboards that go around a race track.  It was tons of fun to watch the boys get their skateboards to "go".

Then we went into the Discovery Room.  This is a special area where they have activities, computers, art supplies, toys, etc. set up and instruction sheets for parents to play with their kids.  It's a great place.  We played airplanes at an airplane table.  We each got our own plane and pretended to take off, land and park at the airport.   

Another section had a bunch of puppets and yes, you guessed it - we put on our own puppet show.  No audience, but it was even more fun to hide behind the puppet stage and watch the boys choose their animals and play.  It was a lot of fun to play with all the toys and enjoy the imagination of the boys in this special area just for kids from 2 - 5 years old.

Last stop was the gift shop to find that special "memory toy" for the day.  It was the airplanes that the boys liked.  They sold the same exact airplanes in the gift shop that we played with upstairs.  KJ chose United and Kasen chose Southwest.  

It was a very fun day and we had a blast together. I love Grandma time.
