In His Steps: New Discovery

New Discovery

Today we took our first family trip to the Discovery Center! It was SO much fun! Natalee loved all there was to see and do! I have not been to the Discovery Center since I was a child, and it was awesome! I'm pretty sure that I liked it more than Natalee! We had a great time walking around each exhibit. Natalee really liked the "clouds" (dry ice). She was afraid to touch the smoke though! We watched a movie in the Planetarium. It's a dome-shaped movie theater. The seats are reclined and you watch a 3D movie above you. Natalee seemed a little over-whelmed by it at first, but by the end was dancing and pointing to all the different objects. They have a little kiddie corner. All Natalee wanted to do was play on the matted area. She had a ball walking back and forth over the textured mats. There were books, puzzles, stuffed animals, blocks, etc in this gated off area. We made a lot of new discoveries today! We also got a year membership. Today's price cost us $20...and a family package was only $40/year...and our first $20 went towards that. So, for $20 more dollars, we get to go unlimited times for the next year. I so look forward to going and exploring again, especially as she gets older, and her interests change!

Even though this was a family fun day, I can't help but think of how the Lord loves for us to learn things that are right! Growing in His word, His wisdom, and His love should be our ultimate goal! We should be just as excited to grow in knowledge of the things that really matter. Lord, help me to grow for Your kingdom. Help me to remember why I am here, and that this is not my home. Amen!
