Museum of Science and Industry - Mythbusters!

This weekend Bart, Alex and I went to the museum.  It was the last weekend for the Mythbusters exhibit and Alex really wanted to see check it out.  We had not been here in many years, its not our favorite.  But we were in for a pleasant surprise.  The place was transformed into a modern state of the art museum.  Reminded me of the exploratorium in San Francisco, but maybe better.
Alex in front of an exhibit about waves.
A neat exhibit about light, colors, and reflection.
Bart and a really great plasma ball.  Love the way his hand glows.
Couldn't pass on a chance to make my hand do the same.
They used reflecting pools on the second floor to illustrate wave behavior below.
The Mythbusters exhibit had a bunch of stuff from the show, including this shark model.
This is the canoe made of duct tape.  It worked!
Here the boys test the idea of if you get wetter running or walking in the rain.
Alex found out how hard it is to transform into a superhero in a phone booth.
Bart's favorite was the card throw.  He was very good at it.
He also dodged a light bullet.
I always love these.
Alex defeated Bart in the brain relaxation competition.
