December IMAX Date

I felt I needed a little fun alone time with Nicholas, so we left Charlotte at home napping with Daddy and took the morning to ourselves. We did some shopping, then headed to the Science Center for an IMAX movie.

We had to stop off to see the dinosaurs first. FYI...the triceratops laying down is "sleeping".

There was the coolest activity set up called Wacky Winter Wonderland. There was every kind of art supply you could think of ready for the children to create with to their heart's content. Unfortunately it was in the same room as this thing. It basically demonstrates the creation of a probability curve. Nicholas didn't so much care about the science behind it as much as the fact that the little white balls fell one at a time Plinko-like down to the bottom. Over and over. And over and over. Until there weren't any more balls to fall and you push the button that rotates the circle around to start the whole process over again. Meanwhile I'm suggesting across the room "Hey babe - think we could make something cool with these pipe cleaners??". Nothing. Complete ignoring. Needless to say that despite spending half an hour there, there were no cool art projects or Christmas decorations to take home.

Radio Disney was there doing a promotion. Nicholas danced and danced. He has no inhibitions about holding random girls' hands and dancing with strangers.

We did make it to the movie. They even gave us a little shark as a souvenir. Nicholas especially liked the whale shark at the end of the movie. I especially liked that there weren't any attack scenes!
