Eugene Day Four...

~We were slow movers this morning. We were supposed to get out the door by about 9:30to make it to the Children's Science Factory by 10:00 giving plenty of time in case we got lost. Well, we got really turned around... not lost I just missed about ten turns so I had to double back A LOT and we didn't get out the door until five after ten. No big deal... nobody was keeping track.
~Arrived at the factory by 10:30... played until noon. Lots and lots of fun... their current theme is sound and they had a scream chamber where kids could go in and scream as loud as they possibly could. The decibels of the screams are digitally measured and parents can see video feed from the inside of the chamber. Can I tell you how wonderful it is to see my children whose decibels match a snowmobile in a soundproof room room screaming, but I couldn't hear a thing. I need a scream chamber at my house (or at this moment while Kylee is screaming in time out for taking Kyndra's Mister Bear).
~Free lunch (corn dogs) for kids at another fun park with a wading pool. Kylee performed a dance for the audience of kids on the little platform in the middle of the pool. Kyndra loved the little merry go round and Kylee spent most of her time on the wobbly bridge.
~Much needed naps!!! following an episode in a toy store.
~Dinner at Track Town Pizza. We each got a mini pizza... mine was totally stinky: garlic, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, and spinach.
~Back to room 232 for a Jon and Kate marathon... I guess we have to have some sort of marathon in Eugene.
~Tony is back at class for after dark lessons using lasers. He said today was all about chemistry. He is getting nervous for his big test on Friday. He will have to do lots of studying tomorrow, which is our nine year anniversary.

It sounds like you are packing your days full! It's so great that you all could accompany Tony this time to his training classes. The Science Factory sounds sooo cool!
