For July 4th, we decided to celebrate our patriotism by visiting the Space Shuttle Endeavor at the LA Science Center! ;) We were worried it would be crazy busy, but since camps were out, it was actually fairly empty!
It was so cool to see these real instruments that had been to space and home again! See the fire marks on the bottom from re-entry?
They had a display of the evolution of spacesuits. So fascinating!
This was a cool sound experiment:
This was a fun display-- getting your hair to stand up. W's hair wasn't very effective, but he was the first one willing to try it.
Then Tamar volunteered, with great success-- only pity was her cell phone was stolen right as I was taking this picture. One of those backs in the picture of W is a jerk.
A scale model of the hubble!
Tires of the Endeavor.
Mock ground station
The shuttle! It was pretty amazing to see.
Every tile was numbered on the ship and custom for their spot. Amazing.
"Big Andrew" supervising the littles as they got out some energy "growing" and harvesting veggies.
W making waves!
Tamar and Andrew making electricity.
William trying his hand as a newscaster. :) This was a fun demo!
A note on W's headband: When we first landed in the US my boys were fascinated by the plethora of US flags and paraphernalia greeting the arriving international passengers by friends/family at the terminal. William saw someone with flags on a headband and could not rest until he too had one! Fortunately, it was a good time of year to find one. :)
Then the other two got in on the chaos fun.
Tamar testing her wing resistance. :)
Flying a plane is so exciting!
Cooling off outside before hitting the pool. :)
