Bowling

We went bolwing with our neighbors during Christmas break.  It was Natalie's first bowling experience and Madison's second.  In the picture is Madison's BFF Elizabeth.



Happy to report there were no tears or injuries.  Natalie bowled a 60 and Madison scored 71.  Not too shabby!

Science Center - New Year's Eve

We went to the Science Center in Des Moines on New Year's Eve.  The place was packed!


 Here's Madison in the Iowa exhibit.  Apparently, Iowa has lots of snakes because that was 90% of what was on display.


Natalie was not very interested in the live snakes.  Neither was Scott.



 A little dinosaur dig for Archaeologist Madison.



Nice hat Grandpa! 


Building a protective layer around our egg before dropping off a high conveyor belt.


 Madison and Scott are ready to ring in Noon Year's Eve.  See Natalie in the background?  She's on Grandpa's shoulders and scared to death!


We were on the second level to see the balloons drop to all the crazy chaos below.

Our last stop was the space exhibit.  It was a fun day, but we will have to wait till the girls are a little older to really enjoy the Science Center.  I wish Des Moines had a Children's Museum.  Maybe some day!
