Discovery Museum

One of the disadvantages of working full time is that all the fun stuff is CROWDED on the weekends. The Discovery Museum is particularly bad, it gets really noisy. So, today we headed off to San Jose to play in the museum when it was nearly empty. Anthony had fun at the sand table, but the water area was (as always) the hit.

The bottom picture is a favorite toy in the water play area. You fill up the pneumatic tube with balls while another tube fills with water. Then you pull the rope, the water drops and the balls fly! The musem provides little waterproof aprons, but a full change of clothes is generally required.

I didn't get pictures, but we spent a little while visiting the new mastadon exhibit. The star of the show is the mastadon fossil that was discovered right by Bob's office when he worked at Rockwell-Collins.
