This morning we took the boys to the Bloomfield Science Museum. While many of the exhibits were clearly a little old for Alexander (and too young for us; this museum is definitely hands-on and geared toward kids), Alexander still had fun running around and exploring. For much of our stay, the place was packed with elementary-school kids on a field trip. They were running around like banshees; I don't think I've ever seen such crazy kids. Luckily, halfway through our visit their teachers gathered them up and herded them back to school, so we were able to enjoy some of the exhibits in a less frenzied environment! Here are a few photos of Alexander and Eric checking out the exhibits on tessellation (I had to look that one up), electricity and magnetic energy.
Our favorite exhibit was the carousel, which was run by the power generated by a stationary bike. Here are Eric and Alexander teaming up to demonstrate the innovative technology.
Lastly, who knew that the science museum would have some of the coolest construction equipment in town? Alexander probably would have spent the entire morning hanging out with these trucks, but of course we had to drag him inside to check out the "real" exhibits. We can't let this kid have too much fun, right??
Looks like Eric got a good workout in!
