Simone at the St. Louis Science Center

This is Simone while at the St. Louis Science Center. This is how much $$ it would cost to send her to space...we are taking up a collection now, lol!!!
Simone has made a friend while making the rounds at the science center, lol! We all had a good time. I totally love seeing her when she is having fun.
This is a "hard" on to see, but it is a huge projections kaleidoscope you you "make" with your hands over a laser...way cool...
This is Simone with her DNA in a test tube...her DNA was quick compared to Cullens, and Grandmas...I guess young DNA is just faster than old DNA, ???

Kenny At the St. Louis Science Center

Kenny has a ball at the St. Louis Science Center...actually I think he was in heaven, lol. He just couldn't get enough of it. He is pictured here with a fossilized skeleton of a fish.
This is a pic of the tyrannosaurus Rex model they have...(life size).
Kenny is building here with the blocks.
And the laser harp was really neat too.
Definitely a great trip to the St. Louis Science Center.

DNA at the St. Louis Science Center

While on our recent trip to the St. Louis Science Center, we got to be involved in a hands on experiment with DNA. We actually got to "see" our own DNA in a tube by using some very simple items to make it "visable". We were very impresses. Cullen is pictured here with his "test tube of DNA".
This is a close up of cullens DNA...you can barely see it at the tip of the liquid...it is white and sort of floating on the top of the liquid.
This is grandma Laura waiting for her DNA to "appear" in the test tube.
And here you have it...you can see the small amounts of "stuff" in the liquid, floating out and going to the top of the liquid...and that is her DNA.

We were actually amazed at how easy it was to do and cool too!
