The Rankins

Well today, the final day of our Spring Break, we got the chance to take the boys to the Science Spectrum & Omni Theatre in Lubbock. A few years back we took them and they loved it and have asked to go back numerous times. We finally had a chance where everything fell into place, the weather was great and we didn't have any ball games. The Omni movie was Sea Monsters and in the special exhibit there was this shark that would eat everything but your head and of course that was perfect for Jakob!

We invited Pa to go with us since Gammy was on her way to New York with Alma & Ashley and we didn't want Pa to have to do any work. I think he had fun, although he was the one that had to move the periscope since it was really hard.

Pa and Kaleb both had fun playing with electricity. Neither one knew I snapped this picture or believe me, they would have moved!

Kaleb & Jakob had a great time playing with all the hands-on stuff. This was something where they could shift the "waters" and make like hurricanes or whirlpools.
Kaleb hated to but he had to eject from his airplane. Actually he hated the thought of having to "pretend" to eject. Mom and her crazy ideas!

Jakob on the other hand was the one who gave me the idea. I just had to convince him that I was not taking video so the thrashing around wasn't going to get him as much as just sitting still and waiting for the camera to take the picture.

Andy and I were there, it's just all my pictures of Andy turned out blurry because he never stood still long enough for me and I of course was the one with the camera. We go back to school tomorrow, yippee, just in time for 80 degree weather all week!
