Niagara Falls and the Buffalo Science Museum

We took a day trip to show the kids Niagara Falls. It was a chilly day, but we still enjoyed our time there. We stayed on the US side, taking in the views of the Canadian Falls.

We spent the rest of our day enjoying the interactive exhibits at the Buffalo Science Museum, particularly the "Explore You" room. When you hold onto the handles, you can hear your heartbeat over a loud speaker and see your heart rate.

And to get our hearts pumping a little faster, we played a few rounds of this game. You have to press the circles that light up and earn more points than your opponent. Fun game!

Next Daddy and I both tried performing tasks similar to robotic surgery. I actually had robotic (DaVinci) surgery in January, so it was neat to see how it works. I have even more admiration for my doctor after this.

In the "Marvelous Earth" section, Asher built a house with wood then saw what happened when different levels of earthquakes shook the foundation.

Journey and I had fun playing around in this photo booth.

You pick which kind of postcard to make, pose for the camera
(which is in the praying mantis' nose) and then email your card to someone. 

Here are the cards we created:

The rest of the time we spent racing cars and building things.
