Imagination Station

On MLK Day we tried out our new family pass to Imagination Station.
One of our favorite attractions was the BOYO (human yo-yo).
 It took some getting used to, but even Emma figured out how to BOYO.
What lovely form!
 Daddy and Emma constructed an earthquake-safe tower
that stayed together despite their rigorous testing.
 Jacob made a new friend named Gizmo. 
Emma Janie discovered the science behind an arch
and created a bridge with foam blocks. 
 Jake stuck with Duplos...Classic.
 Ever the problem-solver, Daddy spent quite a while figuring out
how to construct a paper bridge that would hold multiple blocks. He succeeded!
 Emma found the wind tunnel and practiced her
Magnum and Blue Steel poses for the camera.
 She also learned a little about how airplanes work too.
 Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away...we took some cheesy pictures in the Hubble Space Exhibit.
Check out this freakishly long icicle! It was a cold, cold day outside. 
It's a good thing we had something fun to do indoors in the great city of Toledo!

Fun AND educational! What a great way to spend the day together. It has been a long time since I have seen an icicle, and NEVER one that big. B-r-r-r!

I am seriously marveling at how Emma can be in short sleeves even inside. Where did you put all your coats??? I would seriously need lessons on how to live in such a climate! Amazing!!! :) Oh! And, super fun place!!! LOVE it!

What a delightful day! I think MLK would approve too. I'm so glad you all had that holiday off. This sounds like a very cool place. I love that your kids enjoy museums of all kinds. We plan to take them to the MIM (Music Instrument Museum).
