Science

I couldn't resist him when Michael came home with the field trip permission slip to the Science Factory and upon showing it to me said, "Mom, can you go?!" Immediately I began racking my brain on the who to calls to watch our 3 adorable little people. I really wanted to do this as I SO loved field trips as a child and the most vivid one in my mind being the one my own Mother came on (thanks Mom!). Immediately I was committed. As the day approached we grew more and more excited and at last, on October 6th, 2010...it was here! The BIG day!!! And, may I say, Not disappointing by ANY means:

Our "group"- (left to right) Andrew, Michael, Riley, Jake

*a quick note if I may--wonderfully FUN group of boys!!

No...I didn't get to wear the space suit. But I DID get to take the fun pictures! Now, if there had been a spaceship involved, I would have been persistent!

For snack, the children got Finding Nemo fruit snacks. Each time they pulled one out of their little pouch, they would name what character was soon to reach his dreaded fate.

Some of the neat exhibits, unfortunately I didn't get Michaels very favorite. Oh well...maybe next time! After all. There will be a next time!  

I have to say that this is by far MY favorite exhibit. The Shadow Wall. It is in an enclosed curtain and takes a shot of you as you stand against the wall. When you walk away, it leaves your shadow (as you can see). You can't take a picture with the flash on. Although logical, quickly tried and tested. *eh-hem*

Getting ready to go. Love these guys! (left)
