Richmond Science Museum

We recently visited the Richmond Science Museum. I have to admit, it was impressive. It is 4 stories of exhibits. We had a great time. It also has a planetarium and imax theater. Here are some things that we visited.

Matthew on the simulator with 0 gravity walking on the moon. It was really hard to do!
Lindsey operating the space craft after it has landed on the moon.

Matthew and Lindsey experiencing what it feels like to be an ice skater doing the spin. Can't remember what it is actually called...sorry!

The submarine!

This picture has a funny story. We walked to this exhibit only to see the male and female anatomy on display. The purpose is to show how babies are formed in the womb and the stages of development. Well, as you can see on Matthew's face he thought it to be quite funny. What do you do when you are in the museum and your children see the exhibit? I actually noticed it first and was telling Michael to take a look so we could figure out how to react. He looked over and had this embarrassed look on his face and quickly looked away....it was so funny! He acted like it was something he should not be viewing! You had to be there but I broke out in laughter at Michael and felt like we were in 2nd grade!

Thankfully we didn't really discuss the exhibit with the kids. Matthew took a look and then didn't really say anything. Lindsey was oblivious!

Happy 4th of July!

On July the 4th our family just hung around locally. We grilled out dinner and then left to a local town to watch the fireworks. Here they don't shoot off fireworks over a huge lake..instead it was in a huge open field. We timed it perfectly. Matthew and Lindsey enjoyed the show. Laci on the other hand didn't cry but she covered her eyes the whole time. She was so cute...she sat on my lap and wanted me to wrap both arms around her while she covered her eyes...from time to time she would peek out of her hands! We had a great time together!

Our new home in North Carolina!

Ok...I kept promising pictures of our home in NC. Well...here they finally are! I haven't taken any of the inside yet! We are renting this home because as many of you know our home in FL has yet to sell. Plus, we intend to make it back that way sometime in the next couple of years. This home is in a really nice neighborhood with lots of children. Matthew and Lindsey absolutely love that! Plus it is in the best school district for the town.

The house is 2 stories. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. Plenty of space for the family. Matthew and Lindsey's bedrooms are upstairs and they have yet to sleep in them...hehe!! I didn't post a picture of the back yard but that is my favorite. It has a white picket fence around the entire back yard. The kids enjoy playing back there and I don't have to worry so much because they are fenced in!
