Mother-Daughter Lock In

On Saturday, Chloe and I went to a mother-daughter lock with her Girl Scout troop at the Liberty Science Center. We arrived at 6 p.m. and wouldn't be let out until 9 a.m. Sunday morning. We brought our sleeping bags, toothbrushes and we slept in what we wore to the event (the rules).

We toured the exhibits, pretended to climb a skyscraper and slept on the floor in the "Infection Connection" exhibit near a sneezing nose that showed how far mucus can spray. GOOD TIMES!

We watched a movie on bugs in 3D that turned into a horror show thanks to the shrieks and screams of 150 girls. Who knew a preying mantis could be so terrifying? Two girls from Chloe's troop couldn't even make it through the 30 minute movie and were carried out in tears by their mothers.

We also got to see an IMAX movie on the Hubble telescope. Thankfully it was fairly peaceful.

I leave you with some photos of our "camping" experience.

Chloe's favorite exhibit at the LSC--the giant bubbles.



Finally, asleep. Chloe is in the black and red sleeping bag.




Me, asleep. Thanks Liisa for "sneeking" and taking this photo of me.
