I was able to go on Hunter's field trip to the Imagination Place in Gadsden, AL. The kids had a great time interacting with robots and hearing a Dr. Seuss story. They were even able to make a mask to go along with the story.
It was totally worth taking the day off. Its like a McWane Center with only two or three exhibits. I didn't take a picture of the coolest part though.

I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
