Operation Anyone

We went to the science museum today and played operation. Claire and Blake had fun trying to reach into the huge body and get the pieces. Claire decided it was easier to use her hands. She also found that it was fun to sound the alarm and make the nose red. Blake went around over and over again to get all the pieces.We also took a ride in a virtual simulator. The ride told us that we would be shrunk so that we could travel though the human body. As the machine started to shake Blake remarked " Dad are they really going to shrink us." He tends to take things quite literally. The night before we were watching "Swiss Family Robinson" and Blake wanted to know if the bullets they were using were real or pretend. I think I need to be careful what he sees or at least reasure him of the truth of things.
