Cabin Fever is Setting In

My kids are the kind that want to be outside from sun up to sun down. They don't care if the weather is good or bad. However, I am not as adventurous or tolerant of our Midwestern climate. It has been pretty cold this winter and we just got roughly eight inches of snow last week. We did get out and play in it more than once, but eight inches is difficult to navigate when you are dressed like Ralphy's little brother in The Christmas Story.

Since we are projected to get about eight more inches on top of the eight we already have, I thought it would be a good idea to get these kids out of the house to run and play.

Yesterday, we went over to Clinton, IA to check out the Discovery Center. It was pretty cool for the size of town it is located in. Not to mention, I really liked that all the exhibits were on one level that was all open. So I could stay close to Bubba while letting Misses explore and make friends. Below, you will find pictures of the fun we had yesterday.

There were many more exhibits, but I wanted to play too, so I put the camera away.

If you are ever up around Clinton, IA check out the Discovery Center. It is worth the $4.00 per person entry fee. The staff is very friendly.
