We had a free Saturday with decent weather, and finally, everyone was well. So, we decided to load up and drive over to Charleston to check out the
Clay Center for the day. We had a wonderful time! We've had someone sick in our family every week since we walked in the door after Christmas. With day to day business and the dreary winter weather we've been really needing just a day to get out and do something fun. Elle had been last year on her field trip, but none of the rest of us had.
A water room is always a big hit with the cubs!
The music rooms were pretty fun too!
We got lunch there, but we learned that you can take food in so we'll do that next time.
This structure goes from the bottom floor to the third/top floor. Todd loved climbing it!
The place we spent the most time was the little town. Copper loved this area! He had so much fun on the fire truck and police motorcycle.
I'll be shocked if Todd doesn't become a police officer when he grows up. He seemed to love playing on the cycle too!
However, Todd and Copper spent a ton of time in this little pretend mechanic shop. Copper loved to move the tires around and pretend he was changing them.
I love that Todd can instantly make friends with someone!
The biggest kid had fun too!
I can totally see Reese being a doctor. She played a long time taking care of these babies.
This was an "MRI machine" they could scan the babies with.
They had a house building area, energy zone, vet clinic, theater, grocery store, and diner too. There's so much we'll have to go back again.
I love that there were books everywhere!
WVU was also there showing off robots and other tech, as well as other activities from a lot of their science departments. Todd like the marbles and marshmallow building. The girls like the chemistry table where they got to draw with sharpies, and the biology table where they made bracelets. It was such a cool activity. Different biological features, such as eye color, detached ear lobes, hitchhikers thumb, etc., determined which color of bead you put on.
It was a great day, and we even caught one of the kids saying that!
