OMSI

(aka Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) Today was day one of the free weekend pass so the Hyppsters and us took the drive into Portland. Once there, our hyped up children had a blast. We did too until we started to lose the kids because there were so many people!

There is this battle of nature vs. nurture that amazes me! Rich LOVES lizards-me not so much. They stink and are gross (not to mention that I am the only one who feels pets need to be cleaned up after considering no dog poop was picked while I was gone, or other things cleaned up!!) WE WILL NOT (probably in the VERY FAR FUTURE) BE GETTING A REPTILE!

I very well might be mistaken, but I think that this might have been the first time I have ever seen a real T-Rex skeleton! Wait, there might have been one in Chicago, but I don't really remember much about my 8th grade field trip and I didn't take the time to go while in school...bummer. Anyway, I think that I was more interested in it than anyone else in the group!









They had this fabulous green screen that went with a weather program. Abra REALLY enjoyed seeing herself on tv!!

They had some space things and this cut-out was super cute. Does NASA need a rockstar?
