Trying to shake things up

So, I was trying for a little variety.  You know mixing it up a bit I decided to take my kids, with my friend to the Twin Falls Museum at CSI. 

 My friend has five kids in the space I have four, all girls.  These two are about the same age.  Beckett ended up knocking this over, and she said "he did it, he did it".

 The Museum was actually not that bad all things considered.

 They had quite a few different displays and some cool hands on stuff.

 They had these magnifying glasses that the kids really thought were cool.

 I didn't take pictures of the kids faces on purpose.  My friend is very private about her family, and isn't comfortable with pictures of her kids being online where anyone can see them.  Which I totally get and respect!

 My kids are kind of jaded (aka spoiled), so they were not that impressed.

 They just kind of roamed around.

 Beckett got a hold of a magnifying glass.  He thought that you were supposed to lick it I guess because that's what he kept doing.

 Once he threw it and broke it, that was a bit embarrassing. 

 At points I was glad that he licked the magnifying glass instead of other things.

 They learn how to drill into things with wood, string, and some rock.

Later we went and visited the rose garden at CSI and on the way back it started to rain.  In the car Truman informed me that "this was the worst day of my entire life".  Apparently they didn't have as much fun as I think they should have.  So much for trying to shake things up a bit.
