Sci Bono

We had a great week the other day with friends who organised a couple outings. We couldn't join in everything but we were very excited to make it to the picnic & swimming at a local public pool, and we were there like fred bear when we heard about their planned outing to our local science museum.

I'd been aware of Sci Bono for a while but my two are still quite young and I wasn't sure how age appropriate it would be as no one I knew had been there and could let me know what it was like.

Turns out I was worried for nothing, even the youngest of us who attended had a blast and they were a mere 8 and 12 months. We will be back, that's for sure!

I managed to get a few snaps of what we got up to, but it by no ways covers everything available there. There was so much to do the kids didn't know which way to turn next...and there were big tears from both of mine when we eventually did have to leave, it was only the promise of a Happy Meal which saved the day at that point (I know, I know, our secret is out, we buy McD's *blush*)

Anyway here we are at the electrical section checking out some videos and touch screen games

Much concentration!
Building, building, building

And on to building on the construction site

All ready to work!

Also it was a nice cost effective outing because kids under 6 are free, so it was only the R20 adult fee for me we had to pay.
We will definitely be back, thinking of making it a monthly outing in fact!
