We have always driven past the "black cube" in recent years on our trips north into Orange County, and we've always mentioned wanting to check it out sometime. As we debated as to the best way to spend our third day before going on home, we decided to forego Universal Studios (at $50 each for admission -- with discounts, mind you -- we decided it was too expensive with not enough for the smaller kids to do) and check out the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana. With admission for all ten of us for under $100, we were much happier and had so much to do! The kids played a laser harp, climbed rock walls, made their own animated films, created small and large bubbles, climbed on cement reproductions of dinosaur fossils, experienced the magnificent tiger in a huge exhibit, and learned many other scientific principles via hands-on experiments. We stayed there for over four hours and then drove on home with a quick detour to drive past the San Juan Capistrano mission (I will get out and explore it some day!).

Cousin M also creates the largest bubble of all the kids. It's huge!

So now we're home from our rather exhausting but extremely enjoyable three days ... ready for Holy Week and all of the experiences ahead of us.
