Dynaikum

So on Monday February 17th we went to a really cool museum, it was a hands on museum called Dynaikum.  I had heard about it for awhile and we were finally able to go.  The boys, and I, LOVED it!!!  So much they were ready to go back right away!!  We met some friends there for her son's birthday.

The boys were really excited to see their friends!!

The animal for Pirmasens is the bull, there was one out in front of the museum.  While we were driving to McDonald's afterwards AJ scared me half to death when he saw another one.  I thought a car was going to crash into us with how loud he was.  :-)

This place was all hands on.  The cool thing was that it was in German and English, so we could read about all of the experiments.  Here the boys are rolling it up and letting it drop, then watching as it bounces up again.

Michael being silly with some of the materials.

There was a cool slide there, one was straight and the other has a big dip.  It was showing that both slides have the same speed.  There was a smaller version that you put two balls down it. 

This was showing a pendulum, if one person starts to swing then the other will swing also.

AJ making waves!

This one was really cool, you move the handle and the rope goes in different directions.

Okay there were so many cools ones, this one you had to peddle fast enough and it makes your own hover craft.  It was really hard to get enough air in there to make it hover.

This one AJ was producing his own electricity.  He was able to power each one individually.

I liked this one, it is a relaxation one.  Whoever is more relaxed the ball goes away from that person, so you want to be the relaxed one.  And the screen measures your brain waves.  There was also a quiet box where you stick your head in it and it is all quiet.  I told the boys that I need one of those at home.  :-)

A little meditating before we leave the museum.

It was a beautiful day!!!  We stopped at the outside play area.  After that we headed to McDonald's for lunch.  We ate with everybody and then stayed a little while longer to play some Kings in the corner.  It was a great day!!!  There were a lot of cool experiments in the museum, some that we didn't even get too!!  So it will be one that we go back to.  The boys also said we had to take Daddy there!!
