One of our family’s favorite places,
and a true San Diego treasure, is Balboa Park.
Last time Amy and I went {with nine
kids} we spent the morning at Ruben H Fleet Science Center. My kids grew up
with frequent trips to the Fleet. As a grandparent, annual passes are a great
bargain, and all the kids can come with me. There’s always something new, or
something we missed on our last visit, or a favorite exhibit we return to again
and again.
Jax was already a veteran visitor to
Balboa Park, but this was Zeke’s first expedition. A wealth of visual and
auditory sensations awaited him. This outing, instead of trying to keep track
of all the kids ourselves, we buddied each of the older kids with a younger
cousins. Why hadn’t we thought of this before? With Kenzie strapped to her mom,
four buddy-pairs toured the Science Center. The one-on-one attention offered the
little ones even more fun, and the older ones saw it from a child’s view again.

Shaking the big ball side-to-side
makes the marble on the inside spin around the big ball’s circumference. It
takes only a little motion to transfer enough energy to make the marble whirl
around the big ball. Zeke’s eyes nearly whirled around inside his head!
