Tara and I took the kids to the children's museum and Discovery Green a couple Friday's ago. The kids had a great time and were completely exhausted by the time we got in the car for the drive home. They boys played in the interactive fountain, ran all over the playground and we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the shade on the lawn. Jordonna taught Kennedy how to roll over (at least I like to think she did since Kennedy went home and performed for her mommy.) Will definitely have to make a trip back to Discovery Green - not too sure about the Children's Museum, unless we get free tickets again - TOO many people, especially when you have an infant strapped to your chest and you are chasing an excited 5 year old around.
The listening tunnels were alot of fun! Jackson's expression when I sat in the tunnel opposite him and whispered "HI" was priceless! As soon as I said hi, he turned around and was looking for the person who was talking behind him. I will admit, Tara and I played in the tunnels just as much as the boys.
Sculptor Doug Hollis’ Listening Vessels, a gift from Maconda Brown O’Connor, sits in the midst of the Urban Gardens, an ideal setting for these serene and graceful pieces. The two parabolas, cut from solid limestone and spaced 60 feet apart, epitomize Hollis’ desire to call attention to events that are taken for granted, such as conversation. Visitors are intended to come across the vessels and gain an understanding of their function as they realize they can hear the words of another person speaking at a normal volume, a great distance away.
