This weekend I went to Minneapolis/ St. Paul to have fun.  We went to the Science Museum one day and the Art Institute.  Saturday we went to the Science museum where we spent time on the third floor. I went to the science center where I made tornadoes, low and high pressure systems, a warm front, tested things in the wind chamber, did some experiments with electricity, worked with tidal waves and worked with currents and waves. I spent time in the dinosaur area and then we went to the CSI Experience, which was a special exhibit. For those of you who have seen CSI, you become the detective.  For those of you who haven’t, CSI stand for Crime Scene Investigations.  Detectives try to figure out who killed victim.  You have to become one of those detectives, like connecting DNA, do blood tests, dental records, hair samples, go to be briefed in the autopsy area, etc. 

There was also the huge IMAX theatre with the show called Mysteries of the Great Lakes.  It reminded me of the sturgeons they had in Duluth where biologists are studying them.  They are so huge!  They’re bigger than my Dad!

The next morning we went to the Art Institute.  From there we got to look all of the Egyptian, African, Native American, and Roman/Greek items.  When we went to the second floor, we just looked at art.  It was really pretty.  The coolest thing I saw was the labyrinth.  Someday I will tell you about the labyrinth at our church.  But that’s another story.

So what does CSI and artwork have in common?  Me!  They both got to spend time with me this weekend!
