Pole to Pole

Today we made a quick trip through a new traveling exhibit at the Science Center called Ends of the Earth - From Polar Bears to Penguins. Who doesn't love polar bears and penguins?


Right off the bat we were greeted by this mega bear.

Charlotte crawled into this den, and was surprised when it growled at her!

The blurriness of this is because of Nico's quick reaction to the growls. He wanted out!

We moved onto the Penguin area. Charlotte was a huge fan.

My two ultra-competitive boys going at this game. Fish would light up on the sea somewhere and you had to touch them to make them disappear and others appear. They played this for a long, long time.

Now onto my favorite part. Dressing up like a penguin. The kids both tried on the bottoms and waddled through the ice and snow.

The grand finale? Suiting up with a slick penguin sliding tummy.

And they're off!

Zoom!

We may have only spent about 30 minutes inside (oh the days when I could stop and read every sign!), but we had a blast.
