This drum you are suppose to use your hands I believe it is a bongo drum

The bells

A bait shop with no bait what's up with that

Look at me I'm climbing the wall

Riding the camel

Riding the horse

Dan and I decided to take Shaleigh to see Critterfest at the Science Spectrum on Sunday. When we got there the first thing she got to do was the pony rides. She loves to do this and enjoyed being up on the horse. Next was the camel ride...not as much fun it was kinda bumpy.

Next we went inside and went right down and watched the alligator and crocodile show it was interesting to see how much they could grow in just one year. After that we went back upstairs and started taking Shaleigh through the remaining floors. She loved being able to hold a baby chicken, duck, and pet the huge turtle. She kept going from station to station she was interested interested in seeing what each one did. I'm ashamed to say this was the first time we took her there. She actually touched her first snake and did so with confidence that we wouldn't let anything happen to her.

After going through the floors we went back to the main floor to watch the tiger show. Wow it was amazing to see how big those things get and Shaleigh loved watching them do their tricks. After that we went out to the snack bar to await the next omni max movie. We had about 30-40 minutes to wait so we sat down to rest when all of the sudden I looked up and saw Amber, Ayne, Eddie, Ella walking in. Shaleigh jumped up and took off with them.

Her favorite part other than being able to explore at her own pace was the music section. She loved jumping in front of the lights and symbols and listening to the music play. She loved the drums and enjoyed learning the different tones of them.

We had so much fun and she learned so much. We will definitely have to visit the Science Spectrum again so that she can continue to grow and explore the unknown.
