Today I took Olivia and Braeden to Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry. While not quite as extensive and "great" as Chicago's, they/we had a lot of fun.

Do you remember the movie Big? I loved the Zoltar machine! (Braeden was a little scared to stand by it!)

Olivia used Egyptian letters/symbols to write her name! :)

They loved the little farm vignette.

Olivia laid on a real bed of nails!!! You lay on a plexi glass box, putting your head on a plexi pillow of sorts. Then, a button is pushed which raises the nails so that it lifts you in the air and you are supported only by the nails. She was scared of trying it at first, but I told her they wouldn't put something here that would hurt you and that as long as you lay still it would be fine, and she did it!!! (I don't know that I would have!) She did great!

We finished our time by walking through their outdoor butterfly garden. It was "beautiful" as Braeden said over and over...
