The OC

Friday was "Take Your Family to Work Day" for Mark. Actually, he tried to go to work and we followed him into the car. Then we wouldn't leave so he just took us with him. Luckily, he only had a couple of stops to make. He took Abs into one of his spots. The rest of us hung out in the car, thank goodness for the DVD player. After work, it was off the Discovery Science Center. We've always thought it looked interesting, it's a huge cube shaped building you can see right off the freeway a few exits before you get to Disneyland. It's reallly great place. We had a blast.

It's the Taco Bell Discovery Science center, so the food court only sells Taco Bell and Pizza Hut food. Perfect for us! Our kids actually devoured the food.

Mark's lying on a bed of nails. This freaked the boys out. They wouldn't even try it.

Abby loved the huge dinosaur, she's showing us how she loves to slide down it's tail.

My future plumbers. They had a big Bob the Builder exhibit.(James pointed out that it was for little kids, but he enjoyed it anyways.)

Abby working on building a wall.

David working in the workshop.

James flying an airplane.

The boys tried out the wind tunnel, that's a 78.3mph wind storm. I wouldn't get near it, hate to mess up my hair.
We bought an annual pass, so it looks like we'll be checking out the Bats in October and the Magic School Bus exhibit on the spring. Hopefully, this will pacify the kids desire for Disneyland passes.

Next time you come, let us know. We are not too far from there and I can bring the kids and meet up with you guys.

what a cool place. I love anywhere that is indoors and interactive for the kids during the summer!

That place looks so cool! Little curious minds are inspired. Great idea to get a pass.
