~Wonderworks, Orlando~

 We had another FANTASTIC day!   This time we went to Wonderworks in Orlando, FL.   Wonderworks is an interactive attraction with over 100 hands on exhibits that spark the imagination and challenge the mind.
Everything is "upside down".
 Even the tree!!
 This is Jess seeing how long she could hold her hand in the  -2 degree water just like they did when the Titanic sank...................OUCH!
 This is what happened to the floorboards as the Titanic tilted its way down under the ocean.
 We went into this room and got to feel what it would feel like in a 5.3 magnitude earthquake.
 In this room we had to hold onto each other as the 75 mph winds tried to "blow us away".
 Lying on a bed of nails.............not a nice feeling!!!!
Becky using the pulley to lift herself.

Scott seeing if he could "strike" the batter out.  This measured how fast you threw the ball too.
 Then onto the 3 story ropes challenge course!!   Whew - they even made me (Janet) do it!!!!  YIKES!!




 Bradley didn't want to do the ropes so he did bowling instead.
 The kids had a blast in the "Bubble Lab"
 Bikes and the boys............what more can I say???
 Becky trying to "Snowboard".
 We LOVED the basketball and everything we did ended up being a competition!!!!  It was hilarious.
 Of course.....Jessie loved the HUGE piano.
 It was never ending FUN!

 Then Becky and Shae tried this virtual Roller Coaster ride - They were "locked" inside this capsule and then "spun" around like crazy while we watched the "ride" they were on, on a TV sceen outside of it.   There was a LOT of screaming from the girls!!!!
 Oh dear....what happened to my body??
 Fun for ALL ages.
And of course lots of fun doing "Dance Dance".

We spent over 4 hours here and had the best day!!!
