OMSI

Last week we had the chance to go to OMSI with a colleague of mine to check out the space exhibit. The space section wasn't quite as informative as we had hoped, but the T Rex, Sampson was really amazing! It's hard to imagine something that large running around. (And to compare that to Buddy on Dinosaur Train :)
D had a great time at the science playground, especially playing with the ball tubes; particularly the one that blew air up into his face. He went into the sand box for about 5 seconds and had enough of that.
After spending too much money at the store, and getting a great book about Quantum Entanglement and some dinosaur souvieners, we went for a delish lunch of pad thai. The server at Som Tum Thai was awesome, she brought Dean his own bowl of soup when she saw he was eating mine.
After lunch we went and saw Starry nights at the planetarium, which was also interesting. Who knew there were so many satellites orbiting earth!?! D was great, I thought he'd fall asleep once the lights went out, but he fought it and stayed awake looking at the stars. All in all we had a great day!

  1. Cool field trip! I tried the planetarium show with Esme and got about half way, then she insisted we leave because she was too scared! I think she just needed a nap.

    (And thanks for the Dinosaur Train referral - we'll be checking that out...)
