Science Center - Guitar Exhibit

That's right...Anderson can officially say that he has played the largest guitar in the world!  It took up the whole room and was very impressive (at least to those of us who knew to be impressed; Anderson was fairly underwhelmed).

We went to the Louisville Science Center and he got to pluck lots of guitar strings and hear the sounds of different types of guitars.  He seemed to really like the sound of the electric guitar because he continually pushed that button over and over again, with a smile on his face, to hear it.

He also found out that if he didn't let go of the strings, he didn't have to move away from the guitar...fun lesson!  He also seemed very fond of the yellow string.  He reached for that one more often than the others.  I believe a favorite color may be emerging.

Anderson also played a xylophone, but he got mad when Richard wouldn't let him eat the mallet.  Come on dad...you never let me do anything fun!  I'm sure when he has better aim and less of a need to put everything in his mouth, a xylophone will be super exciting on its own.

We also went into the kid's zone.  This was mine and Richard's first time in there as well.  Richard put on a puppet show that no one watched, Anderson drove a bus, and got to see himself in a mirror in the floor. Richard sang "The Wheels on the Bus" as Anderson practiced his driving skills on the rather large steering wheel.

He also enjoyed the disco ball as it was similar to the lights at home except way more amazing, in the shape of a ball, and very reflective!  He looked at me as if to say, tell me again why our lights at home aren't this fantastic.

He was pretty impressed with all the lights and gadgets and apparently used up a lot of energy as he napped all the way home.  I would say it was a success and we will soon return to the wonderland that is the Science Center!
