Orlando Science Center

As you know, Rea is homeschooled. She is a part-time student at Florida Virtual School. And I supplement the rest of her life with educational goodness... At least I try. 

Buddy still attends the brick and mortar elementary school down the road. But that will change soon enough. We have plans to pull him out (more on that in a much later post). 

Anyway, Rea's school planned a state-wide field trip. These field trips took place in six different cities across the state. We opted for the Orlando one, since Rea's teacher would be there. So, the kids and I got up early on Friday morning and drove to the Orlando Science Center. 

​If you have never been, and happen to be in the area, GO! It's so cool! This place is four floors of interactive science exhibits. I'll be honest, Buddy was NOT happy that I dragged him along. He told me many times he wished he was at his school.

He looked at the map with me, and he decided seeing dinosaurs wouldn't be too bad. His grumpy attitude disappeared when we made it up to the fourth floor. The dinos did not disappoint. 

In the room next to the dinosaurs is the weather exploration room... I'm sure it had a real name, but I wasn't paying attention (really, I was chasing after excited Stus bouncing from one thing to another). 

The kids LOVED this wind tunnel. You get in, and the wind climbs up to 79 mph.

That's enough for now... I'll share more from our Orlando trip next time!
