Clue(less)



The mystery deepens. The suspense is thick. Where, oh where, have the Barbers gone?

Today's activities (and clues) included:
Bike riding along the city's greenbelt. A 23 mile paved path that runs along a river--beautiful. We had a wonderful time exploring these paths, crossing over and under bridges and watching people jump from trees (literally) into the river to cool off.

We went to a Discovery Children's Science Center where the boys wowed and amazed the locals with their knowledge of space facts. Both boys won a Darth Tater (come on , you don't know this--Mr. Potato Head Star Wars style) by answering 4 questions apiece about space. Trust me, this was a big highlight. The museum was wonderful, not very big budget, but it had lots of hand on activities to do experiments with. Romney had single-handedly built a 4 way electrical circuit that ran a doorbell, 2 lights and a motor. Not bad for 5. William tested his reflexes (which are pretty good, in case you were wondering). He also laid on a bed of nails and experimented with sound waves (What else, from a piano- loving boy). Both boys loved making their own Robots and riding on a personal elevator pulley.

Then we walked around downtown taking a few photos and exploring. We stopped for dinner and dessert and headed back to the hotel for swimming and watching a movie (simultaneously).

Only one more day to guess, then all will be revealed.
