Science Center

A few days ago, we were introduced to the Science Center. A friend that had grown up in Houston had gone there as a child, and thought it'd be fun to go back with our kids. The best part about it is its FREE! :) It mostly consisted of animals that have been taxidermed (I don't think that's a real word). We had the whole place to ourselves, so I don't think many people know about it. It seems to mostly exist for schools to visit.

It was really fun to see so many animals up close and personal though. When you go to the zoo, you have to fight crowds of people, and hope that the animal is by the front of the cage. Here, they were just right there for you to look at. The coolest animals they had was a buffalo, and polar bear, a black bear, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, and a lion. There were many more as well. I took just a couple pictures....

Isaac with the crocodile

When Isaac saw this one he said, "lion get bambi?"

The first animal we saw was a wolverine

Oh, and as far as an update on our poo post. Isaac is improving! He still is not completely normal I'd say, but he's getting there. I broke down and went and got some Miralax from Walmart, and I think that seems to help a lot. I gave it to him 3 days in a row a week ago, and he seems to be semi-normal since then.

We also have had the opportunity to come visit Utah! Wee Wee (Stephanie) came and visited us in Houston, and it's been a blast. She's been so much help with the kids, and keeping me company while Brad's been busy doing his test week at school. We then got some buddy passes to go home with her. Things didn't work out perfectly, but we got here. We were going to leave on Friday and get in Utah on time for my grandpa's memorial, but the flight was delayed enough that we would've missed our connection. So the next day we planned on driving to Austin, and flying through Long Beach instead. All of a sudden people bought lots of tickets, and it looked like we might not be able to get on that flight either. Thanks to Tracy and Valerie for spending all of Saturday flying out and getting us. Since Valerie has a higher priority, we were able to get on ahead of the other buddy passes, and we made it! We got here late Saturday night. We did miss the memorial, but at least got to see a little bit of family before they left. We'll be here a week maybe 2, so if anyone is looking for something to do, you should come visit us! :) Sadly we had to leave Brad behind to go to school and take some icky tests. It's hard not to have him with us, but it is fun to see family and friends some more.
