East Texas Trip: Science Museum

Our plan for Friday morning was to visit the zoo; however, it was just too cold. So, we moved the fun indoors and visited the Discovery Science Place. It would have been wonderful for a preschool or elementary aged child. Most of it Abby missed or could see, but not truly experience. They did have a wonderful little toddler area she enjoyed for a while.
She checked herself out in the mirror. She learned how to crawl up and down the foam staircase. Can you tell how timid Daddy was and how brave Abby was? I told him repeatedly it was all foam and she needed to try it out. He did good backing away and she accomplished the up and down without a major header!

Part of the area was a small town for children to explore. Abby got to drive a car with Marcus in the little town. They also had an ambulance, florist, bank, grocery store, etc. It was cute! Abby and Marcus explored a large "cave" with bats, running water, and more.
We hoped they would have a kitchen for her to play with. Don't tell her, but she is getting one for Christmas and we wanted to see if she liked it. They didn't have a major kitchen area, but did have small food items she could mix.
I'm sad we missed the zoo, but really enjoyed the heated science place!
