At the end of our first week of school, we went on a field trip! The kids all got in free using passes they earned during the summer reading program at the library. We hadn't been in a couple of years, so the kids were really excited to go.
 |
| Working on mind games in the main hall. |
 |
| The special exhibit was all about the science of fear. |
 |
| They liked it, but I didn't think it was as good as the special exhibits usually are. |
 |
| We paused lunch to watch a worker shoot off a pipe cannon. |
 |
| The girls' table. |
 |
| The boys' table. |
 |
| Next we went over the castle. |
 |
| They just love this area of the museum. |
 |
| I wish I had one of these at home. :) |
 |
| The fishing pond was new to them. |
 |
| Disorderly Conduct was his crime. |
 |
| Anne played dress-up. |
 |
| Anne and friends. |
 |
| Joseph and his buddy as knights-in-training. |
 |
| Horses! |
 |
| Then we checked out the Aviation room. |
 |
| I think Anthony just crashed. |
 |
| Playing with air. |
 |
| Dominic tried to fly the Wright brothers' plane. |
 |
| Next came the Keva planks building room, another place requiring a long stop. |
 |
| Catherine with one creation. |
 |
| Catherine and her friend built a very tall tower. |
 |
| Very intent on their work. |
 |
| Pause for a smile. |
 |
| Anthony hard at work. |
 |
| Dominic and his friend built quite a complex. |
 |
| Kids in the tornado simulator. |
 |
| Looking out the window. |
 |
| Playing with water. |
 |
| Back to the castle again we go. This time I climbed to the top. It's really high! |
 |
| This garden was easy to plant and harvest. |
