A Field Trip

Today we had to take Nathanial back to college after a long weekend (due to President's day). We decided to take advantage of our membership to the zoo and Discovery Center and combine the trip to Binghamton with a trip to the Discovery Center. We dropped Nathanial off at the college and continued on to the DC.
The last time we visited this neat place was when Katelyn was a toddler. Many of the same exhibits remain, but there were some new activities to explore. Last time Matthew and Nathanial had a wonderful time at the News Desk/Weather Reporter exhibit. This time, it barely was acknowledged by the kids.

Jonathan was happiest at the Fire Station...Marc was happy in the cockpit of the jet plane...Ian loved shopping in the grocery store...The ambulance was a hit, too...They all enjoyed climbing the maze/tower. The bubble experiment area was also a favorite.

Somehow I neglected to get Rachael in the pictures, but she was a great help keeping the 2 little guys in sight. She enjoyed the music/light show exhibit.

We went out for lunch and then stopped at a couple of stores. Marc and Rachael got some new books to read on the way home. We all enjoyed our field trip and time together. Jonathan and Ian are already asking when we can go back. Hopefully, Dad can join us next time.
