Rainy day + looking for something low key + hey, this is
right next to dad’s office = perfect time to visit the Wisconsin Institutes for
Discovery’s Town Center (No. 9).
Actually, this upcoming weekend would be the perfect time because they
are hosting a super awesome interactive exhibit with free ice-cream called Babcock, Biofuels & Bovines, but we
are out of town for Dad’s 100K race.
At Discovery, I attempted to teach Aurora about
aquaponics. Aurora attempted
to teach her sister the word “fish.”
Adeline attempted to give the bream a heart attack by beating on the
glass. Then we looked at
root cells though a microscope.
We oohed and
aahed over the water walls that chimed and lit up based on the Fibonacci
sequence.
We found fossils in the stone tiles on the floor.
We snacked, played, and posed in front of the Mesozoic garden.
Adeline closely examined the penrose tiling of the forum’s
cherry wood floor. Aurora ran
round and round her as she enjoyed the different sounding echoes of her
footsteps.
For the grand finale, we sat in fancy red chairs and
watched a train pass behind the water clock.
