Science Center Field Trip



Last Wednesday, the boys and I went with Suzanna's class to the Science Center.

I don't think I could begin to capture Suzanna's excitement for the event. This was the first field trip I've been on with her--and she has been waiting, waiting, waiting!!!

There were so many parent volunteers for the field trip, that we only had one other kid assigned to us (good thing since I was already watching Ty & Jonathan!), and we made our group more fun by hanging out with my friend Liz, her sons Ty & Nate, and Erika's son Jarom (Nate and Jarom are also in Anna's class).



We went to the planetarium first, where they did a very cool presentation on the planets.
Then we moved on to the exhibits.






Is anyone surprised that this was Jonathan's favorite exhibit? A giant nose that you can throw balls into = A five-year-old's dream come true. The best part is when the nose "sneezes" a ball back out!



Ty loved this house. Especially since only kids 4 and under were allowed in. He didn't have to compete for a turn.


He is such a boy!!


And Nate's face sums up how we felt about the last part of the field trip. They gathered all the 2nd graders into the I-Max theater to listen to three weather forecasters from Channel 3. The kids weren't so impressed. I think they just wished they were exploring the fun museum some more instead of listening to more adults talk =)

Looks like fun. Your a good mom to go on field trips with them. I love the giant nose and the joy on Jonny's face.

What a fun field trip! I haven't been there in years, but last time we went the little house was a big hit as well.

i agree, my least favorite part would have been the newscasters too

We have browsed the science center after going to other exhibits there and I keep thinking we should go back with all the kids explore there sometime. Looks like fun! The last picture cracks me up... he looks like he is thinking, "Are we done yet?? BORING!" :)
