Weekend Fun

What beautiful weather we had this weekend!! We also enjoyed a couple of visitors. Coryn, another former Newton Eagle, traveled from Los Angeles for the opening of a new exhibit at the Detroit Science Center. It features engineers from various disciplines and displays in the 4D Toyota Engineering Theater how fun their jobs can be. Really...I'm not kidding! Coryn was the prosthetist that worked with an athlete that ran in the 2007 Pan Am Games. Coryn came for the opening of the exhibit, even though she won't be featured until late this year at the earliest. We hope she'll come back for another visit then. Since she was in town, Uncle Matt, also flew over from Peoria.


So, on Saturday we headed down to Detroit to check out the exhibit and the rest of the Science Center. There was a lot of cool stuff there. Marie was excited to crawl through a giant replica of a colon and got a sticker to prove it! They also had a special section for kids under five. Marie enjoyed that...almost as much as riding on the escalator. We could've spent a lot more time there I'm sure.



Since the weather was so nice, we went to the park today. We could've spent a lot more time there as well. Marie got to slide, swing, climb, and run around on all the empty soccer fields. It was good for all of us to get some fresh air. We did run into a rather talkative guy that didn't have a lot of nice things to say about the Illini...but we didn't let that ruin our outing.
