Christmas Eve the Syracuse Museum of Science and Technology was open and we had some pre-holiday sillies to get out. We had the run of the museum and very few other visitors with whom to share it. I haven't been with them to the MOST in more than a year and it was startling to me to see how much more they are interested in, and in different ways, than they were last time I visited with them. They wanted to learn everything about the human heart (and climb up into the chambers in the huge model), climb all through the climbing structure by themselves (they are way too fast for me now anyway), fly all the planes and helicopters, do every hands-on exhibit related to wind, solar and water power, climb through the caves, and dig for fossils in the sand. They also watched the ball exhibit (balls moving through different pulleys, channels, etc in continuous movement) for a good 20 minutes, watching in one spot for a few moments, then moving on to another spot to watch a different thing happening. It was all pretty amazing to me and to them, and I think we'll be making more trips here again soon.
