pics from Asheville

We went to the children's museum in Asheville on Tuesday. They had several interesting interactive exhibits!


This is Claire after the cold stone creamery visit! YUM YUM!



Doesn't Claire look thrilled?





This was a cool exhibit. This model was animated and she moved and talked and whatever part she was talking about lit up?!??!




Giant bubble maker






This was the dizzy tunnel where when you walked through it felt like you were going upside down even though you were walking in a straight line and your feet never left the ground.








Jay had such a good time building with these. You would put them together and air blew threw them and you would drop a ball in and it would go through all the pipes you had put together and shoot out the end.














































I had to make John and Claire leave this first room. They dressed up and spent at least 30 minutes with this fake food. Wish I hadn't sold the Dora Kitchen at that last garage sale :)













This is some more pics at the Western Carolina Nature Center.
Jay takes a turn on the otter slide.





This was the Western North Carolina Nature Center in Asheville, NC. Claire is on the otter slide.







We got to see a barred owl up close!





This beautiful peacock was just meandering through the park and did not seem scared just to come up to people.





Finally, we saw a bear in the mountains. He was, of course, behind a fence and not in the wild.



Here is the bold peacock just coming up so near that we could shoot this close up.
