There isn't much to do in the small town of Safford, but they do have a free Discovery Museum. Free is always attractive to us old folks who are on limited incomes. Besides that, Jerry and Sandy White had three of their grandchildren camping with them, so it gave them something to do besides ride their bikes in the campground.
Our first visit was Tuesday morning. When we got to the door we found out that Tuesday and Thursday mornings are reserved for school groups. Guess we didn't qualify for that. Shucks. But we did have a chance to walk around the grounds with no screaming, pushing school children around us! Guess I can call that a win. LOL
You can see how windy it was by looking at the flags by the parking lot.
Doris was reading one of the many signs along the way while Sandy sauntered across the wood bridge.
The Lowe kids found a huge tire on one of the sides and scrambled up in it. Picture time!!!!
Back we went on Wednesday morning. Success! Besides free entrance, this little museum gives visitors a free simulated shuttle ride to see the planets in our solar system! It rocked and bucked as we "flew through space" out from Safford and back again. There was also a very interesting movie about the creation of the Hubble telescope, which the kids ignored, but the adults loved it.
Outside, Wyatt, Micah and Ainslie were concentrating on the box containing sand, water and colored pebbles. There was something for everyone. All's well that ends well.
