Day 5

Well its time to pack it up and head back to Idaho where it is sunny and warm, with lots of responsibilities and chores... We got up and packed up our stuff trying to fit all the Sand incrusted, sea water smelling clothes back into our little travel packs. (eeew!) Once all that was done anad the liquids were stowed safely into thier little baggies we were off to find something to do for the day. Our flight wasnt until 6:00 in the evening so we had all day to play. We found the science center and much to our amazment it was FREE addmission! (cant complain right?) Well the first part was kind of ghetto, the stations were under repair and wornout so we were thinking we got we paid for. Then we wondered around a bit more and found the Kelp forest....


It was amazing! I always wanted to go into one of these arch ways! The fish were fun to watch.




Then we found the Yucky Rot Room... the floor was all squishy and there was bugs and rotting animals, it was pretty gross, but the kids loved it!

There was the a room with giant ice block and fun things to explore,there was a Water table that Bob and Will played in for quite awhile...



I wish we had found this part of the building first to spend more time, but we had to leave to get to the airport. This was a bit rough for me and the kids, cause we were all runnning low on sleep, energy, and patentice. This is not a good combination to have with a 2 hour flight delay and very sleepy, tired kids. We made it home about 12:30 am and went straight to bed! Easiest bed time I ever had with the kids, and they even slept in! So here is the key to getting my kids to bed without a fight and get them to sleep in as well! Just 3 days of disneland, a day at the beach and the pool, and a flight delay in Salt lake City... Geeze if i knew it was that easy we would do it more often! *wink*
