Wonder Works-myrtle beach

We went to Myrtle Beach and visited the new WonderWorks.  It is an “upside down” building with laser tag, ropes course and science games/experiments etc…It is like a science meets Dave and Busters…kind of:

First stop was a hurricane shack that showed how strong the winds were. 

Then Micah had a big race…

    They dodged fish and sharks in an arcade game

They pitched some innings

There were so many exhibits…but the best one was the ropes course. The kids got strapped in and had to balance on ropes high about everyone’s heads.  Wonder works has around 4-5 floors of exhibits and one part of the ropes course looks straight down all of the floors.  I was so proud of Victoria and Micah.  They were determined to do it, even though everyone else was quite a bit older than them (Micah had to go with an adult because he wasn’t quite tall enough)

 I do not know what David was thinking…taking two young children on this course.  When Micah gets scared, he turns pale white, and can’t move. When Victoria gets scared she wraps herself around something and holds on tight while crying.  I was surprised they even went.  I could not wait to see David up high with two kids …one crying, and one unable to move, and watch him try to get them across a tight rope to get down…

But unfortunately only one had a problem:

We were so proud of her for even trying, because usually we have to bribe/threaten her to try new things. She did good and I can’t blame her for being scared since she was up so high with no real feeling of security. 

Micah hung out until David walked Victoria back and could do the course with him:

They had fun and were sound asleep as soon as we got back into the car. I wish Charleston had something like this! We were there for hours.
