How much is one billion?

How long does it take to count to one billion when you count at one number per second?

The air table was Jaden's favorite

Country girls

Who would have thought you could learn to milk a cow at the museum!!

Jaden picks out vegetables from the bins (as I ask her to pick out certain ones)

Counting eggs in the chicken coup.
















John Deere trikes were the highlight of the farm section. Can you tell? After the people cleared out, Morgan & Jaden were able to drive farther around the farm without running into people.

So many interactive exhibits (like I said before)!!! Absolutely exciting! This is a great way to get kids excited about science and nature!!!

Blowing Bubbles

Most of the exhibits at the nature and science museum were interactive. The bubble exhibit was one of the most fun. Morgan was excited that she was able to make big bubbles. Jaden liked the bubble exhibit, too, but there was en exhibit right behind this one that she kept wanting to go back to. You will see the pictures of that exhibit later...

What is wrong with these mirrors?

This is a demo of a flood.

Sitting in the palm of a hand.

I took the kids to the museum today. I don't remember museums being this much fun when I was a child... We stayed for 3 hours, and there was more than enough to keep the girls interested & learning. Stay tuned for more pictures and videos. This is only the beginning...

Twists

I put several twists in the girls hair. After I did about 15 twists, I put all of the twists into the middle of their hair. Since I just made up the "do", I am not sure whether I like it or not.

A Package from across the pond

Jaden & Morgan got a package from Amalia in England. They were so excited to see all of the stickers, coloring pages, and other worksheets. I think it's cool to see the things from other countries because they don't always look like the things we have here. They have been playing with the stuff for the past hour now, and still enjoying it! Thank you Amalia!
