"Flying" at Discovery Gateway

Due to the generosity of a family member we have a membership to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. Andrew has enjoyed visiting the museum every time we've gone. In the past we have stayed downstairs. Today, we thought we would try the second floor.

The first activity the Andrew found fascinating was the Bernouli wind tunnel/tube.  

Up, up, and away! Andrew "flew" all sorts of papers.
We found some blue foam blocks stacked up in a corner. Some had grooves that made it appear that balls or something else should roll through them. We didn't find any balls that worked; so instead we made towers.
Andrew loves to sit in or on anything

Didn't roll as desired

All Hail King Andrew!

They had an airplane cockpit. We had to wait in line in the "passenger" seats.

We also found a "corkbox."  The box was full of shredded cork. 
It's great idea; it functions like sand but is easier to clean off.

Finally it came time for us to leave. 

Andrew hid at first...

then waved bye-bye!
