Awesome Ninja Kings

Quinn loves to go to practice and does so well.  He kicks it hard on offense and really works it on defense.  And he has so much fun with his teammates!  Now if he could just transfer those skills to the games he would be in great shape.   But we are making it through the season and learning and  growing as we go.  So proud of this guy.

Spider Sunday

We started our Sunday by playing some Mastermind.  
Lunch at The Stand.  

Today was the last day for the Spider Pavilion at the Natural History Museum so we decided to spend our afternoon there.

The spiders were just out and about creating their webs in the pavilion.  Just be careful of where you walk.  

After spiders we took a walk through the rose garden.  Beautiful.

Saturday Night Science Carnival

I heard about this science carnival through one of my Facebook groups.  It was set up in the field of an elementary school and consisted of 50 – 100 tables with science experiments set up by college kids.  It was geared towards kids in K – 8.    We didn\’t know what to expect but it was pretty awesome.

First stop, compressed air marshmallow shooter.  By the time we left later in the evening that field was full of kids trying to catch the marshmallows.

In this experiment the kids completed the electrical circuit so when they touched a color on the table the matching light bulb lit up.  

Don and Quinn complete the circle.

Shooting a ping pong ball at the speed of light.

This little geek was having so much fun!

Making a motor with a battery, electrical wires, and a magnet.  I was pleasantly surprised by how many girls were involved in the carnival.

Shooting a homemade rocket with compressed air.

So much fun!!!

This homemade stomp rocket travelled further than the \”motorized\”.

Quinn loved this experiment.  Turning sugar in to cotton candy.

Dry ice is always cool.

A look back at the field as we leave.

We are already looking forward to attending next year!
