Nashville Science Center

Sorry I am just now posting these pics...been a little busy lately.  These pictures are from our recent trip to Nashville.  On Sunday, we visited the Science Museum before we headed home. This place was amazing!!!!!!!  We couldn't even get past the first floor and we had already been there for a couple of hours.  The kids had a blast and are already begging to go back next time we go visit Gumpdaddy and Nana.  I keep asking myself..."Why haven't we ever come here before?"  I mean my dad has lived in Nashville for years and years.  Anyway, this is definately on our list of things to do...again...next time we go to Nashville.

Ally, Taylor, and Mason with building blocks.  They learned about earthquakes and what makes them happen.

Supergirl!!!!!!

Big Boy Baker...poor thing...he wanted to ride so bad


And this ladies and gentlemen is a new form of punishment for Mason ha ha!!!


This was so neat...a very LARGE piano.  Not sure who had more fun Baker or Tony



OK. This was the coolest thing they had at the museum...at least I thought.  As an advocate for people with disabilities (my bachelor's degree was in Recreational Therapy), there was no way my children were leaving the museum before they experienced what it is like to be in a wheelchair...let alone play basketball while in one.  They actually did pretty good going up and down the ramps.  The kids had a lot of fun and didn't want to stop.  I was glad to see so many children waiting in line to experience this.



"IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?" Oh! There's one ha ha!  Dr. Taylor Cosey!
Ok, now this is where Taylor had the most fun and no that is not a real person laying there, although Taylor would have been in Heaven if that were the case.  Heaven for Taylor didn't happen until we entered the Pathology Lab...see picture below

Look at that grin on her face!  It's hard to tell but she was able to see a REAL HUMAN BRAIN! And a sheep heart, skulls, and pig's heart.  She didn't want to leave!  Pretty Cool!

Ally, Sitty, and Taylor
