This winter has seemed so long. Of course, I say that every year. Since becoming a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom nearly 8 years ago I have spent many winter days cooped up in the house. I am not complaining, but every so often it is nice to get out and do something different for a change.
That is exactly what we did last Saturday. We went to a hands-on science museum that we had never been to before. It took a little over an hour to get there, so it felt like we were going on a trip without having to go too far. The kids had so much fun and so did my husband and I.
There were so many fun things to do, but as you will see by the next few pictures the bubble room was a hit.
Julia at the cloud bubble station.
James trying to blow a giant bubble.
Joshua showing his daddy how to blow a bubble.
Joseph loved the 6 and under area’s tree house.
The boys had fun learning about magnets.
The water tables were a hit even with Julia.
This old girl can still jump. 🙂 I made the 9 foot mark light up.
Before we went home we stopped by an international food store and a Amish bulk food store. I had never been to a bulk food store before and was thrilled to come home with over 21 pounds of 50 cents/pound whole wheat flour. (I have said it before, and I will say it again. It doesn’t take much to excite me.)
We had a great family day and I am so thankful that we were able to take this little trip. I am linking this post to Finer Things Friday at The Finer Things in Life because any day spent with my family is a finer thing.
