Visit to the Temple and COSI

We decided to take a trip to the Columbus temple in the middle of January. It's always tricky going to the temple with the kids, but we made it work. I did initiatories at 9 while Jeremy and the kids sat in the waiting room for a bit, went on a walk around the temple, and played in the church building next door. Then I came out and Jeremy drove us over to COSI (Center of Science and Industry). He dropped us off and then headed back to the temple for the 11:00 endwoment session. After he finished, he joined us at the museum for another couple hours and then we drove the 1.5 hrs home. It was a busy but great day!

With our Cincinnati Museum Center passes we also get into a lot of other museums around the country for free, including COSI, which is awesome because it's a lot bigger and nicer museum than ours! :) We're planning on going one more time in February before baby comes since it worked out so well with the temple swap. We'll switch the order next time though so I can do an endowment and Jeremy can have more time at the museum. :)

This was the gadgets section - definitely everyone's favorite. They had gears and robots and all sorts of fun things. I think we'll spend more time here next time!

 Back in time - 60s town.

 They had a lego exhibit where you could make a car and race it down a track. Obviously this was a hit.

 And the "under the sea" area. We didn't find this until the very end, so we'll have to check it out more next time too. It's a big museum!
