Fun at the Science Center

So a friend I have that I met on a message board before Desmond was born, dang that seems a long time ago, but anyways rambling on, was in Baltimore this past weekend. We didn’t realize she was here and we were home until Saturday. She had thought it was the weekend we were in Atlanta. So we made quick plans and decided to meet up on Saturday at The Maryland Science Center.

She has twin boys a few weeks older then Desmond, and they had heard about the Science Center the day before and decided it sounded like fun. I’ve lived in this area for the past 9 years (now I feel old, but anyways), and DH had lived in the area most of his life and neither of us knew about it. So we met up, we were planning on meeting in the kid center, but both pulled into the parking lot at the same time so we walked there together.

We all had a lot of fun, Desmond enjoyed some of the regular exhibits, well the two we went through, Dinosaurs and Weather, and all 3 of mine really enjoyed the kids area for children 0 to 8. They all had a lot of fun there and there was a ton for them to do and explore.

After we had been there a few hours we decided to all go to lunch, we were planning on heading out after lunch to hit Costco before Desmond had to go to a birthday party of a friend that evening, and they were planning on heading back to the center for awhile longer and then driving 3 hours home. We got to lunch and the skies opened. So we had a nice long lunch with desert, and after about 2 1/2 hours at lunch we all headed back to the cars, since the rain finally broke for a bit. We headed home, no time for Costco and they headed home as well since the rain and taken so long to clear they were ready to head home.

We all had a great time and here are a few pictures from our adventure.

Here we all are minus, husbands and Sully who was on Dan’s back.

And here is Sully at lunch playing with some asparagus. We aren’t doing solids yet, but I am letting him play with them a bit.
