Discovery Science Center

So my neighbor across the street is a program director at The Discovery Science center in Santa Ana and has been telling me about this Star Wars exhibit they were going to do in November.  I knew my boys would be in absolute heaven if we attended.  Well, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Jeremy and Jenny brought their boys and came to visit Cali from Texas for Thanksgiving.  My nephews are into Star Wars too so I thought it would be so fun to go to the Science Center and check out the exhibit while they were in town.  My neighbor Roxy got us free tickets to get inside the museum so all we had to pay for was the Star Wars exhibit.
The boys loved it, it had real artificats from all the movies, with costumes and props.  Even Mckynlee loved it.




Brock was definitely in heaven.
Cooper, Dax, Caden and Coday waiting to ride the machine in the background (don't ask me what it is, I am not Star Wars savy).
My cute nephew Cody.

Sorry there are lots of shots with the props.
Crew was good to just chill.


They even had interactive compture stuff they could do.

After the exhibit it was time to check out the rest of the museum.  Rock wall first.
The kids got to participate in eco-friendly shopping.
They learned about recycling.
Daxton tried out being a hockey goalie.

Brock absoultely loves science, that is his favorite subject in school. So this was his type of museum.  Here he is trying not to touch metal to metal.
Building with blocks, the computer showed them different things they could build with step by step instructions.

This was probably the boy's favorite thing.  You get in this tube and it spins air and I think its suppose to feel how a tornado would feel.
Brock was fascinated with this room and the globe.
The earthquake simulator.
The whole crew before we left the museum.  The kids had so much fun with their cousins.
Mckynlee playing on these balls outside, silly girl.
