This week we chose our own adventure at the Museum of Science and Nature.
We basked on the sun...
without getting hot.
Our shadows watched...
while (short lasting) impressions were made.
The sky was searched for satellites...
and lines were transformed into circles by the blink of an eye.
The meterologists met for a department meeting...
during a hands on lesson in UV light.
Bubbles burst like fireworks...
into continents on a soapy sea.
Gentle breezes suspended play in mid-air...
as a storm brewed behind glass.
Our adventure was as large as the creatures we encountered.
On Sunday, please visit Lotus to choose another adventure.

What a magnificent photo story!
This looks like so much fun. This is what I love about blogs--this kind of storytelling. We have a place like this in OC called The Discovery Center that my kids love. "Almost as fun as Build A Bear!" was my daughter's comment. Which is a huge compliment!
PS see your son in Crocs. What did we do without them?
Awesome pictures! So impressed! ...And in such need of blogging lessons...
I know you probably have 30 of these, but I have something for you....
So, Reid's blowing hair in that photo reminds me of my high school crush's part and cut. Yeah, I just really wrote that. Yikes.
KEEP BELIEVING
You make me want a time machine for my kids.
a wonderful tale.
see? i had something nice to say.
i COULD have made a snide remark about how today is friday...and not sunday, which is the day that weekly winners is SUPPOSED to be ... but then it would negate the niceness of my comment.
and we dont want that.
Oh I love these places. Seems everywhere I have lived (which is everywhere) has a science center of some sort. IS there nothing more joyful than seeing the wonder of the universe in a boys eyes? Oh and the bubbles! Who knew water and a little dishwashing soap was so amazing!!!
Oh you got some GREAT shots! What an awesome place!
Wow!! Look at the babies red hair! (Sorry, I get all the 'r's mixed up - I know - I suck.) That is such a fun time. I love going to our natural history museum!
((hug)) May the memories of this summer last a lifetime.
I love taking my kids places like that!
I'd like to see an animated version of this! Har!
What an awesome journey! And I love the orange crocs,we just ordered some!
What an amazing adventure and well told! That museum looks wonderful :) I LOVE the bubbles.
Little guy in crocs.. is about as cute as the make 'em!
Adorable.. especially love the window pic.
What kind of vitamins do you take?
Do they contain large amounts of caffeine and sedatives that somehow work simultaneously? Because that's what I'd need to take my kids out as often as you do.
I admire you, sista.
I love the story/picture montage. Perfect!!!
I love the descriptions of your pictures. Especially the one about continents. Very good.
Love your titles!
What a great way to tell a story. Those boys are so stinkin' adorable!! And you have the stamina of an amazon woman!
Fantastic Weekly Winners TexasHolly ;-) XOXO
What fun and what fabulous pictures of the fun adventure!
Hope you are having a good weekend - Kellan
What a fun time! Looks like a great place :D
Such and awesome story, for an awesome day! Great shots :)
Beautiful! I love the shadow one best, I think.
What a fun day!
Saw these in my reader the other night and couldn't swing by to tell you just how much I love them all!
Bravo.... I loved this post!
We have the Children's Museum here in Austin and it is one of my favorite places to take Abbie.
Great photos and story!
What a beautiful photo story!! I want to do one like that next week! Or better yet - when you go out on your next outing... can I come too? :) Great photos! Was the bubbles really forced to form the continents or did it look like that?
Looks like ya'll had a great time!
It looks as though they made amazing discoveries, and you made amazing pictures! Have a great week!
Fun!
My favorite is the "shadows" photo.
All great, but Shadows Watched is my favie. :-)
As always--very cool!
I love the shadows, but all of these look like much fun was had.
Nice set. My fav is the one of the boys in front of the big window.
LOVE the second one! That floor is so cool! (And the kiddo is cute, too) :P
Very nice photos!!!
I especially like the one of the reflections.
What cute kiddos!
Holly, I love your photo stories... always so magical!!!
What a wonderful time!
This was excellent.
I love that we feel included in the whole excursion.
Looks like a wonderful day was had by all.
i want to go there too!
your question about entrecard : do i like it ? the truth is at first i was eager about it. and i was able to do the 300 drops per day. but when i heard about bounce rate, i changed my mind. entrecard increases your bounce rate. because most of the droppers just visit your blog to drop their cards and then close their browser. that increase their bounce rate. that's just my thought.
here are my other entrecard entries :

oh that looks like so much fun - it has reminded me to go check our our local science museum too!
I love how you always tell a story with these.
The meteorologist thing totally cracked me up. Looks like a great trip!
fabulous pics of your kiddos.
I'm tagging you by the way.

hi holly.
you are a rather energetic mother.
your kids will and should thank you for that one day.
and also--happy new name.
i wondered who texasholly was--glad its you.
(one day I will win all that that is in your fruit basket)
That must have been a wonderful experience for the children !
Whenever I read your posts I always think...now, SHE would be fun to have a playdate with. You ALWAYS do such fun stuff!
Looks like you & the kiddos had a blast! Love it in the shot of the suspended ping pong ball you can see the boy's hair parted in the middle...cute!
What a fun day
Looks like a fun adventure for all :) My faves are the 2cd one & the meterologist one :)
Shadow watching is absolutely a winner!
As I was reading your post, my 3-year-old got her hand caught in our "impression maker". What a coincidence!
Great pictures, I think the bubble one is my favorite. :)
Hand prints are cool. We have one of those at home (only smaller). Your museum looks a lot like the Exploratorium in SF. Kids love it. I just try not to lose any of them.
Y'all looked like you had a wonderful time! That third picture is perfection. Seriously. :)
looks like a fun time. thanks for visiting my weekly winners!
Your photo stories always make me smile. My favorite is the meeting of the meteorologists!
Now, we all know that us Texans love our bacon as much as the next person ... but with PEANUT BUTTER?? Hmmmmm ... interesting ...
Hey, gotta love little boys! There's nothing better (or more interesting) in life. :)
