Post 1: Kids' Science Museum

Last week, I promised the kids a "fun outing" on Friday if we had all our school work done by Thursday. Well, a mom has to come through on her promises, doesn't she? So, we went to Science Works in Ashland, OR for fun and a great deal of science learning!

The kids were sooo lucky this year for Christmas! I suggested a membership to one of these kinds of museums in our area to Pops' folks and they must have decided it was a great gift idea!

We spent all afternoon exploring! There was definitely something for everyone.

This was a kaleidoscope that you crawl inside - a few too mommies in that photo!

We had just rebuilt this arch after Bud did the honors of knocking it down.

These last pictures are of the girls enjoying the funnels and watching to see what kind of patterns the sand would make.

We sure had fun and the kids can hardly wait to go again!

Thanks a bunch, Grandma and Grandpa Tractor! More pictures from the trip another day! 

We had the MOST fun in one of the other rooms that I'll post another day. You don't really want another post a mile long!

  2. Wow. This looks like a FUN place to take the kids! Is it like the Lincoln Children's Museum? Our kids loved going there, although it has been a LONG time... maybe we need to road trip and come check out Science Works in Oregon. Hmmm... :-) ~ Lisa
