Science City

 When we went to the Children's museum in Omaha I bought a year pass that get's you into tons of museums free. One of those museums is Science city in Kansas City. We have now been twice and I am sure we will go again before our pass expires. It's a cool museum in the train station downtown Kansas city. The kids LOVE it!!
 Everything there teaches you about a little science concept. But mostly the kids just think they are fun.

 They could play at this water table all day!!


 Who doesn't love pretending to fly the helicopter.
 Part way through the museum we decided to ride the elevator to the next floor. It was a clear elevator and the kids were so excited to get to ride it. Well.....we got on and the elevator broke. We were totally stuck in the elevator. It was a good thing it was clear because we waved down some people who were able to go get help for us.
 I had to get pictures....this is about five minutes after we got on the elevator. I told the kids to act scared. At least Kambree and Carson are pretending for me.
 Going on fifteen minutes....not so much fun anymore. "Mom we are going to starve to death!!" Half an hour in the kids weren't pretending to be scared anymore. The maintenance guy was standing outside the door saying we would have to wait for the elevator company and it could be a few hours!! Luckily for us though he was able to get it open after just 35 minutes!!



 It was a fun museum and a good day away from the house!
