Adventure Science Center

Well our trip to Nashville was a BLAST!! It took us 2 hours to get there, and it was worth every minute of the trip! Our first stop was Adventure Science Center. We had planned about 3 hours and that was plenty of time. I'm sure the kids could have played all day, but I think they enjoyed every minute we were there!

This was the room we first walked into. It just had a lot of hands on "science experiments" that were kid friendly. Here, Drew is learning about trajectory. The blue ball is in the air, headed toward the catching net!
In the same area, the kids got to mess around with sound a little bit on this piano. Of course Taylor was all about playing on the piano!


The kids worked hard to pick up this nice red Fierro. Nate and I both laughed when we saw it and thought of Papaw Rudy. The kids didn't understand our reference, but any of our family will!

I thought this was just an amazing shot! As you can see, Drew is jumping off the slide on to what else, but a whoopee cushion! I'll leave it to your imagination what happened when he jumped on it, but let's just say he enjoyed it over and over again! There was an entire section on the body and the kids particularly liked all the stuff on digestion!

There was an entire section on space and astronauts. I'm not exactly sure what Drew was doing in this photo, but I thought it was hilarious that Toby was mimicking him!

This is a rather long video, but it is Taylor "Space Walking". She enjoyed it, but said her bottom hurt for a little while afterwards. i can't imagine why :)

This was the only dinosaur exhibit. One little section with a few automated dinosaurs! Let's just say...

Toby wasn't thrilled about them!

Here Nate and Taylor were trying to move a ball with their brain waves. Not exactly sure how it worked, but Nate's kept showing flat line... not sure what that meant :)

They had a big climbing/jungle gym thing that the kids really enjoyed! Toby worked hard to get across this rope bridge!


Here Toby was doing some sorting! He did such a great job sorting and naming the shapes. Something we've been working very hard on this last year!

Here are the kids in front of a brain. It was interactive as well!


Here is one last video we took as we were heading out. It was a green screen and you could pick your background! They had a lot of fun with this!

After our time at the Science Center, we hopped in the car and headed to Franklin to have lunch with a friend who used to work at our church. Zach and his wife introduced us to McDouglas Chicken! YUM!!! After lunch, Zach was kind enough to take us on a quick tour of the radio station he works at, where he works with Wally on Total Axxess. This radio show is broadcast back in Wooster on WVMC FM at 7PM each night! You should check it out if you haven't already! We had a quick encounter with Wally, who had to remark on Drew's TobyMac shirt and if you've ever heard Wally, you'll understand his fascination with Toby! It was a really fun little tour, one the kids won't soon forget, especially each night as we listen in to the radio show! Pretty cool little side trip!

God is Good!
