Museum of Science and Industry

Ryan had the Monday after New Years off and the Museum of Science and Industry was free that day. So, we had to check it out. It is a HUGE museum.

They had their special Christmas trees from around the world exhibit. We also went to the special Jim Henson exhibit but no pictures were allowed.

Ryan thought this car was pretty cool. The display talked about the Salt Flats, too.

We tried out the car racing...

Rock climbing....

(Cole had to have a turn, too)

The human hamster wheel.....

Enjoyed some snacks....
and tested out electricity.

This is only a very small portion of what we did. It's multiple levels with many exhibits on each level. We went through everything quickly because both kids happened to be kind of tired and ornery. After a few hours, we were all exhausted.

I don't know if it was because of the busy holiday weekend or what, but when we got home we just wanted to crash. We put the kids to bed at 5:45 and we were asleep by 7. We all slept until 7 the next morning. We must have really needed some rest! I'm glad we got it ;)
