COSI (Center of Science and Industry)






















Over spring break we took the girls up to Columbus for a night, stayed in a hotel, and then went to COSI all day the next day. We also made a brief trip to the State Capitol building. In the fall, my parents had gone to Washington, D.C. and mom was showing the girls pictures of the U.S. Capital Building and the sniper. She explained to them why he was there, etc. (sad, isn't it?) While we were at the Ohio Capitol Building, I overheard Olivia ask Dan, "Where is the man with the gun?" We reassured her that there wasn't one and continued looking at the statues on the grounds, etc. All of the sudden, a security guard came walking around the building, and Olivia's face went white! She pretty much clung to my jacket until we got back to the car. Poor thing!!! COSI was great! We saw shows on how to explode things, rats playing basketball, fear responses, and the weather. It was an excellent experience!
