California Visit, Part 3---Kidspace Museum

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we went to the Kidspace Museum in Pasadena. This place is right by the Rose Bowl. We had planned to go on Saturday, but it was closed because of a football game at the Rose Bowl.  (Adam and Rachel, I think we walked over to this place with you guys when we were there looking at the floats, but didn't pay the admission to go in.) It is a really cool place, with lots of educational exhibits that are also a lot of fun.

A lot of the outdoor exhibits had to do with simple machines.

There were fun things for Evan to play with, too.

And there were some neat climbing structures.

And here is Josie the archeologist---digging for fossils and bones.

I don't remember what this exhibit was, but Josie was very interested in it!

Josie the rock climber:

She achieved her goal---she climbed high enough to ring the bell!

And we ended the day with some water play for Josie.

We commented that the water area would really be great on a hot summer day---except that it would probably be too crowded to really enjoy it.
