Wonderworks

Since we were out of school yesterday for President's Day, we headed to Orlando to Wonderworks. The kids had done it without out us in TN, and have not stopped talking about it. Grandma and Grandpa were in town, so it was the perfect time to go.

You could feel the water temperature of the Titanic waters. It was really cold at 28 degrees.

This was really cool- it was the slant of the deck at two different times while the Titanic was sinking.

Derek enjoyed trying out all the neat things too.

The bubble room was a big hit!

You try to pull yourself up by your upper body strength.

The old bed of nails- I tried it and you can actually feel the nail pricks.

Of course Aubrey makes a friend wherever she goes. She had a great time with this little girl putting their bodies on the the needles and seeing what it looked like on the other side.

Of course Derek had to play the giant piano. At one point two girls were playing on it and Aubrey just ran right in front of them across the whole thing. I apologized for her:)

Ethan in the space capsule. It was very tiny.

Aubrey and Grandpa getting ready to ride the roller coaster simulator.

All smiles at the end. Grandpa said her eyes were pretty big during the ride.

Ethan and Mom taking a turn.

Ethan made a Mold-A-Rama. Derek used to make these all the time as a kid.

This was really neat- you stare at the picture for a little while and then look at the wall and see the face of Jesus.

Aubrey and Grandma trying to land a space shuttle.

Another cool optical thing. After starring at rings, you look down at the clouds and it looks like they are moving.

This was by far the best part- the ropes course.

Ready to go up.

All smiles walking the stairs up.

Then the panic. It is a blurry picture, but you can see by her expression that she is not liking it. We were about 14 feet up in the air, and her little legs were just too short to walk across the obstacles. We turned around and she came back down.

Ethan however, was a champ and did a great job!

There were some games and one of the prizes for the tickets were individually wrapped Jelly Beans. We had never seen this before and it fascinated Ethan and myself. The small things in life.

A great day was had by all!
