Museum of Science and Industry

For Mother's Day we took our Granny and our Grandpa Paul to the Museum of Science and Industry.  We went to see the Body Exhibit which in retrospect was totally poor parenting on my part since I wasn't really thinking about the impact that it might have on the boys.  Nathan thought it was cool, but was overwhelmed by the exhibit.  The rest of the museum was awesome and we got to go free since we are members of the Natural History Museum in Gainesville.

Here is Nathan playing around with a probability experiment dealing with flipping a coin in the kids area.  

Uncle Chris, Nathan and Gavin uncovering fossils.  What fun.  I think they had more fun throwing around dirt than they actually had looking at the fossils.

AMAZING!!!! We all took turns lying on a bed of nails.  Granny had to press the button and stand watch to make sure that Nathan and Gavin were safe in case they didn't distribute their weight evenly across all the nails which were pretty sharp.

Here is Uncle Chris and Gavin standing in the middle of the hurricane tunnel.  The speeds only got up to about 60 miles an hour which really isn't that strong of a hurricane, but it was still fun to stand in the middle of it.

Here are Gavin, Nathan, and Stranger pretending to control some sort of tornado weather station.  I am not sure what this place was all about, but they liked the idea of controlling a giant TV set.
