Science on a Saturday








Last year at this time Chris, Ben and Aria went to a local University Open House which featured a some very cool events with a science theme. Elias and I were looking forward to going, for last year at this time Elias was going into the hospital. We talked a lot today about what that was like for each of us, the time and the knowledge that he is healthy made it much more comfortable for everyone to go back to that time. We are were all very thankful to be in a much different place this year.
The event was great. The kids mined chocolate chips out of cookies, created gem and mineral sheets, participated in experiments and watched others, made gloop and slime, looked at beautiful rocks and crystals, rode a vacuum powered hover craft and watch a very spectacular magic show. We came home with lots of new rocks for our collections, and we are very excited to show Grampy a rock that is magnetic....hello iron!
