This afternoon, Austin's mom and I took the boys and their cousin, Ben, to the discovery museum in Fort Collins. There were a few things that were just displays, but most of the stuff is hands-on for kids. They loved it, even if some of it was a little too advanced for their understanding. I was pretty exhausted by the end, but it was well worth all the fun they had. You can't really tell what is going on in the picture above, but the tube is a wind tunnel and the boys had little parachutes made out of coffee filters and paper cups that were floating up in the wind. They were fascinated by this for quite awhile before we finally talked them into seeing other things.
The boys were quite disappointed that they couldn't touch or ride in the fire truck.
I don't think Ben or Leif ever really got any sound out of their instruments, but they liked that they could touch and do whatever they wanted.
The giant building blocks seemed to be the boys' favorite, but there were too many other kids in that area using up most of the blocks, so they didn't get to do much there.
Here is another display where the boys got to use tubes that shoot air to move little beach balls around in the air. I don't think Leif ever had a ball in the air, he just enjoyed moving the control switch around.
There were quite a few other displays that I didn't get pictures of. But Austin's parents have a 'grandparents pass' so they can take the kids back any time they want :)
