OMSI

Took a weekend road trip with Rachelle n Connie to OMSI and SCREAM!First stop = spiders, snakes and scorpions? Their were live ones in cages above these “stick your hand in and feel” boxes. Do You Dare?
Jo had no issues with this. In fact she giggled as she pulled out the rubber snake tale and said “Look, it’s just rubber!”

Fear of Falling?
Mom went first and actually had a shocked look on her face when she fell. Everyone who watched Mom knew what was going to happen so they didn’t have the shock like she had. But all laughed through the ride.

Guillotine!
The guillotine was hidden well to keep the young kids from watching something that could really scare them. Mom almost missed getting the photo of Oma’s head in the guillotine because she spotted the SHOCKED look on Cole and Connie’s faces.

WAY FUNNY!

The basket to catch your head had a mirror in it so when you looked down you could see the blade above coming down to lop off your head.
Mom felt it was a tad freaky to watch it happen as you may see from her facial expression.

WHAT?


WHAT?


Did you say come here Mom?


WHAT?

We spent over five hours in OMSI looking, touching and playing with everything we could.



Here we played Meteorologist against the green screen.
If you look closely you can see the kids are on the tv’s to their left.
We had some good laughs watching other people really getting into the part of talking about the weather. Some fantasies played out maybe?

Playing with Electricity
The small foil pie plates floated/shot right off their hands. And then if they touched you before stepping off the box you got quite the zap!
Why does hurting other bring laughter?

Two Way Mirror
If you look closely there is a mix of Cole’s face and body with Jo’s.
The kids thought this was neat and laughed hard when Cole looked like he had Jo’s hair.

Family Fun Center
We headed towards home after a very loooooong day but decided to keep the fun going. Stopped by the fun center right along the freeway. It was chilly outside so we only played outside long enough for Cole to try rock climbing for the first time. He made about half the wall three times. He really enjoyed this.

The rest of the time we played arcade games and won many tickets that the kids turned in for prizes.

Great weekend that put smiles on all our faces.
