A 3-D party

This 3-D party didn't require special glasses, it was a night of Destruction, Discovery and Dessert. We invited some families to join us in taking apart household items; a popcorn maker, some old telephones, harddrives, a lap top, a drill, a small television, a mixer, some old radios and tape players. Aria was enthralled with the old telephone, seeing the bell inside that made it ring and the a dial that was a rotation instead of buttons. Elias and Ben sat with their tools taking things apart almost forgetting to come share in the dessert (which says a lot!). The dad's (and mums sometimes too) were right in the mix exploring the guts of these machines. I loved watching our kids excited about what they were doing, pondering and sharing with their friends of all ages. It was a great mix of families, some we know well and some we are getting to know better. For me, it was having the evening a family event that I enjoyed most. I think we will do more things like this.
