Our Spring Break weather was more wintery than our winter. We had hoped to possibly hike some trails, play on playgrounds, and even brought Camden's bike. But none of that was possible (well without freezing).
We had already planned to stop at some point at the small science center in Bloomington. We had gone one other time and really enjoyed the activities. We decided to head over in the morning on Friday.
We thought it might not be as crowded as on a Saturday, but there was a school field trip and the place was busy. Camden wasn't fazed and enjoyed the hands-on stuff regardless.
The bubble room was one of our favorites on a previous visit, but maybe was a bit too crowded to fully enjoy this time. She did spend a good bit of time climbing the flower structure.
She and Kevin also took a few turns launching parachutes.
When we went upstairs, she was thrilled to discover a few new items...and a new favorite was discovered!
The two also enjoyed two intense rounds of Memory. This small board was mastered quickly (ended in a tie) and they moved on to a bigger board. It took a lot longer and I think Camden may have won. It should be noted that Kevin doesn't believe in "letting" a child win either. That was pure play (and it was a hard one too).
Camden also discovered the bee display and promptly dressed up in beekeeper/scientist gear and went to work checking out the hive.
We spent close to 2 hours here. Our alternative motivation for coming to Bloomington on Friday was a buffet lunch at a Thai restaurant, called, "Siam House." Bloomington is known for their international restaurants and we really enjoyed this chance to sample different Thai dishes.
