Anne Roland Lee spoke about, “The Nutritional Aspects of the Gluten Free Diet”.  She spoke about some really interesting topics that Casey and I haven’t thought about, such as the topic of how a celiac might not be getting the nutrition that they need.  I didn’t think about it, but she mentioned how many of the gluten-free flours aren’t fortified like the glutenous ones, which are regulated by the FDA to be enriched.  This might be one reason Casey is still often fatigued… maybe Casey needs additional supplements to counter the less nutritious gluten-free flours… we’ll see.

We arrived at downtown Harrisburg around 2pm and found street parking (is free on the weekends).  Walked to the museum, and got our tickets for the play session ($5/person), and didn’t have to wait to long until it was our turn to go in.

As you can see from the photos below, there were many different activities for the kids to play with; farm, factory, school zone, playroom/tunnel, forest, and legos.  It was a good time and I think the kids had fun.

Casey and I both feel that even though the Curiosity Connection was fun for our kids and closer to home, the Lancaster Hands-On House is still worth the drive (bigger, no time frame/session).

After our visit to the Curiosity Connection, we had dinner at Carrabas Italian Grill.  We were definitely blessed, both kids ate there dinner while Casey and I got to finish ours in peace.  Score!
