Lydia's "Rockstar" sunglasses. That's what Uncle Chad called her when he first saw her in them at the mall.

Jeremy wants to have his picture taken with Zane, but Zane's too busy bouncing on Dad that he's blurry.

Lydia after her bath last night. We were chillin outside before bedtime.

Betsy chewing her bone. This is NOT normal, she's never taken a bone from us. She was very possessive about "her bone".

Jaci, neighbor girl down the street, is giving Lydia a ride in her Barbie Jeep. Gypsy is the girl in the blue Cheerleading outfit. They were all having a hay day with the nice weather and being outside. Lydia is giving Zane a ride on her little 4 - wheeler.

The kids made a bed on the bench so they could enjoy the outside without having to go inside to "chill out".

Lydia on a Crane

Zane touching a Salamandar. A tornado behind glass.

Kids Playing in the Bubble Tub. There were 3 of these huge tubs and lots of wands. There was even a hula hoop for making "massive" bubbles.

This Vacuum Maze looked like artwork. You place a ball in the hole then plug it with the vacuum/blower tube, and then the ball came shooting out another hole. It all happens very quickly. This was Lydia's Favorite thing. She kept saying "again, again"....

Magnetic Fishing @ the Science Center

If you look close...you will see Zane's face and hand imprint. The lighting was very to get right for you to see how cool it really was.

Blow Gun, forced air like from an air compresser. They were spinning pinwheels & propellers. This was one of Zane's Top Favorite things!!!!

Zane & Lydia learning about forced air keeping a "ball" afloat. Zane called it the Floating Earth. They were both trying to catch it while it was up in the air.

Science Center of Iowa Trip. 3-23-07

Lydia is learning about Wind Pipes with Grampa. Lydia was just as excited as Grampa when there was "actual noise" that came out when they pumped the handle.

Ice Storm 2-24-07. This was the start of the ice storm. This is the storm that knocked out our power for 4 days.
