Nerd Alert!

Fridays are pretty laid back for us. It is the only day where we have nothing scheduled and we just recover from our week. On a normal Friday, we usually do errands: go to the grocery store, to Target-PetsMart-Michaels, stuff like that. Last Friday, I suggested going to see the fish at PetsMart. James wanted to see the fish, but he wanted to go to the Duke Power World of Energy to see them. He had been there with Mark a couple of weeks ago. Well, we really didn't have anything else to do, so off we went.

It tooks us about 20 minutes from our house and it was a pretty nice drive! Here are the boys on the way in:

James likes it here because there are shows in every room:

By putting your hand on the right spot, that starts the show:

I am not sure what this is:

The kids dancing on an atom:

Oh, no Andy! Don't climb into the nuclear reactor!

Oh, no, not you too James!

Andy is excited about wind energy (freakin' hippie):

At the end, they have video games about saving energy:

They have a bunch of displays about the area, a big map:

Here are James's fish:

We got free frisbees and the boys played with them outside:

The World of Energy is F-R-E-E and a good inside activity.

I can remember Drew C. and I (there was one more person...can't remember who) took a trip out there and explored there and the town of Newry. I thought it was cool then too!

Ok, how is it that I have never heard of this place? I definitely have to take the girls.
