My brother Sean had to work in Portland, so my sister in law Francine, called me up and asked if I wanted to meet her in Portland with the kids. Portland is the perfect half way point between Eugene and Seattle (well maybe a little better for the Eugene people). Since Sean had a hotel room in Portland for work, it would be a great outing for her and the kids. Of course we jumped at the chance to spend time with cousins! We decided to meet at OMSI. . .
Lucy and Annie
had so much fun pretending to be chipmunks.
Sam and Will
Will loves to folllow Sam around and copy his every move. I just wish Sam was a better example to his little cousin sometimes. . . we are working on it.
They all played in the water for about an hour!
Max always seems to come up with some kind of "project" in these types of situations, and he gives everyone a job. In this case, they were all carrying water from one water feature to another, trying to fill this one up.
Then it was off to the "Ball Room"
The kids all had so much fun here! Lucy, Will and Annie were all so intrigued when they found a way to make these ball float in mid air.
(Hey Kate, I am tempted to make a blue ball refernce here as well - Pancho has gotten into all of our heads AHHHHH!)
Sam and Will tossing their blue balls - I just couldn't help it!
My two little geeks!
The Science Laboratory is so much fun. There was a CSI exhibit and we all did some very cool experiments with fingerprints, blood types, etc.
. . . speaking of geeks!
Francine and I were "rockin" the safety goggles too!
We had to play in the earthquake simulator!
and finally, the OMNIMAX Movie about Mars!
I actually really enjoyed it, it was very interesting!
