On a Rainy Sunday

Lunch was at the Hessen Haus. Daphne and I ordered Rouladen Rolls and a peasant plate to share. Char ordered mac and cheese and cottage cheese from the children's menu. Char ate most of the peasant plate, and Daphne and I ate most of the mac and cheese. That's teamwork.

The Hessen Haus is Des Moines' version of an old-world German bier hall.

The Hessen Haus is also located near the Science Center of Iowa which is where we went next. The Science Center was lacking a new exhibit, but they did have a cardboard "city" for kids to explore.

These plastic screws were used to connect the cardboard boxes. I think they are a really cool idea.

We also experimented with cutting out coffee filter designs to see what shape flew the highest.

Dominos are always a good time.

So are rainy Sundays.
