EDUCATIONAL FUN!!!!!!


So racing season is officially over so we decided that we would take a day to do something fun. I was checking out some things to do on the internet the other day and found where the SC State Museum was hosting a Halloween Extravagana. According to the forecast it was going to rain so we decided a day indoors would be just the thing for us. Bruce left the house about 8 Saturday morning and decided he would ride his bike as far as he could get to Columbia before I caught him. Well Kolbie and I got caught up in a movie ("My Dog Skip") which was a great movie, and we got a later start than that. We left the house about 10:15 and ventured out on the same route that Bruce was taken. We finally caught up with him on a lone road about 15 miles from Columbia. So I guess he had rode about 65 miles. We pulled over at this run down convenience store so that he could change. Needless to say no one in this town had seen a guy changing clothes outside before. We got some of the weirdest looks.


We got to Columbia, grabbed a bite to eat and headed to the museum


Well they had it all decorated for Halloween. There was gouls and goblins hanging from everywhere. Kolbie was really scared of them. There was a guy walking around as a dead person carrying his head. He was really cool but absolutely terrified Kolbie and even manage to come around a corner and scare me a few times.

Kolbie was very fascinated with all the different things to see in the museum aside from Halloween stuff. They had this really cool scavenger hunt going on where you had to answer questions about different things from Space Exploration to Funeral procession of slaves. Once you got finished you could go and get a prize. He really enjoyed that also. Bruce was a little bored but he was so sweet to take Kolbie.

We had a good time and we didn't have to be rushed or anything. We just got to spend the day together.
