Maryland Science Center

The kids had a couple days off of school this week. We took one of those days and went to the Maryland Science Center. We went with some friends and had a really good time. Here are some pics of the kids:

Digging for fossils:
If you click on Nick's picture to enlarge, you will notice that he has protective eyewear on...upside down :-)


Playing and painting with balloons in the kid's room:


Experimenting with weight and pullies:



Go, GO, GO:



Exploring the different exhibits:



I enjoyed having the girls home and doing something FUN!

Afton went with Leslie (a friend that was helping me with the kids) to the Planetarium and learned all about the Total Lunar Eclipse that we were going to be able to see the following night. So, we let the kids stay up late and tried to get a few pictures of how it looked on the East Coast (I was just using our digital camera, so the picture isn't that great, but the kids had fun watching it).

What a cool picture of the moon! Looks like you had a great time at the science center.

What do you mean "the picture isn't that great"! It looks like something out of one of my fourth grade students' science book. Sounds like an educationally fun day!
