Museum Of Science And Industry

On Saturday we drove to Chicago to go to the Museum Of Science And Industry. Jared and I have been married for ten years and this is what we wanted to do. We had a fantastic time and I think the boys did too! The museum has changed since Jared and I were there last but for the most part it was pretty cool!

This laptop was designed for children in third world countries. It has a crank on it and that is the way that it gets its power.
This is a HUGE pinball machine. It was made in Switzerland to bring in tourists. The ball goes through all the things that they want tourists to be aware is there and visit.

This tube was filled with water and plastic bits. The kids pumped it up and then looked through the holes in the bottom and it was a giant kaleidoscope
