Today, since it was snowing, all of our activities were indoors. On our first stop we went to the discovery center. There were about 4 exhibits. The first one we went to was the body section. There was an area where you sat in a chair and used your own arm strength to lift yourself up a few feet using rope and different arrangements of pullies. On another, you had to get a ball from one end of a track to the other using a variety of tubes and gravity. The next section, which we liked the best, was the physics section. In one of the exhibits, you had to wear a pair of goggles that refracted your vision and you had to put a basketball through a hoop while wearing them. (Jacob: I couldn't make it even once, but Mrs. Pippen was able to do it on her first try!) There were also sections about nanotechnology and nocturnal animals.
The next stop was at Gatti Town for lunch. Gatti Town had a great buffet. After we finished eating we were able to play in the arcade. Almost everyone played air hockey. Christian won about 700 tickets which was the most amount of tickets won by anyone.
Next we went to Western Bowling Lanes to bowl. We had a competition that for the best total score after two. The 1st and 2nd place winners got a prize. Zuri came in second and Jonah won with a total score of 190.
After all of that we went swimming for an hour. We made up a game that involved smacking a purple beach ball back and forth across the pool. We got bored of that game and then played Marco Polo. After that we went and ate dinner at Abuelo's. It was a Mexican Restaurant. Overall, we had a very fun day.
Now we are off to pack for our drive back home to Dallas.
