OMSI

I took today off from work. That's reason enough to blog in and of itself. My mom and I took Trent to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). Oh my did we have a lovely time. It was a gorgeous day out, so it was a little bit of a shame to be indoors, but it was worth it. We took a tour of a Submarine and learned all about life on a sub and the cramped quarters and very short shower times, if they got them at all (no thank you!)


We watched an Imax movie called Born to Be Wild about baby Orangutangs and baby elephants that are orphaned due to poaching and deforestation of the rainforests. These places that take them in, care for them, and release them back to the wild when they're ready. There was also a Lego exhibit going on. WOW! Talk about amazing stuff! There is a man that is a professional Lego Builder who built all these different things. Every young kids' dream job!


There were whole sections set up just to play and test things out...water rockets, and entire room about vacuums and air flow so balls were being shot all over this place. Trent had a great day! It's always good to hear him laughing and enjoying himself.
