Those Heart Stealing Grandbabies

 Who Ever Wants To Understand Much

Must Play Much

 Here in the United States we celebrate

1st Monday in September as

Labor Day 

 a holiday in honor of the working people.

It's a day off from the regular work week -

 a day to relax and play.

 We spent our holiday

at the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix

 with those

heart stealing grandbabies 

of ours.

Children have that unbridled impulse to 

touch

 prod

or poke

 every aspect of the world around them

and this is a perfect place to fill those needs.

 The science exhibits were outstanding.

We learned how control and manipulate light 

through a Stroboscope

 An entire floor is dedicated to understanding and interacting

with exhibits on

 the Human Body

 Noah even experienced what it was like to lay on a bed of nails.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said

It is a Happy Talent to Know How To Play

 Isaak realized he had the strength 

to pull his own body weight.

 And with floor after floor of 

well designed, exciting exhibits,

we learned that the kids were most drawn

to building and creating

 with simple blocks.

 With mommy's help

Kayla would have been content at this table for hours.

 Even Dano showed his creative side.

 "The World is full of magical things, patiently waiting for

our senses to grow sharper" (W. B. Yeats)

Socrates said

"Wonder is the beginning of Wisdom"

These beautiful children seem well on their way.
