Friday's Field Trip

We had a wonderful time, my husband ended up being off of work and got to go with us and that made the trip extra special to all of us.

I love this picture of Meadow. We ate lunch at IHOP before going to the museum.

Meadow and Mommy

A Trolley, I really wanted to ride!

This was a weather station, so Sky and I tried our hands at being weather women...I don't think we are cut out for the job!

Mommy and Sky being silly.

Sky reporting a tornado!

Not sure what this is called but it was pretty.

This was in the History part of the museum. We've been reading a lot about families that had to weave for a living with the loom in the middle of their home. It was neat to see how large they really are.

Tee pee and an Indian

Battleship

I tried to get a close up so you could see the details.

Monkey Toes Meadow!

These next few pictures were taken inside the Mega Dome Theatre while we were watching the movie. Very neat and interesting shots.

This was a picture taken from the top floor looking down.

And that's all. I could have posted so many more but it felt like I loaded pictures forever. We had a great time and really enjoyed being together as a family. It's a wonderful part of homeschooling. I'm so thankful for the opportunity. God is so good to us.

Science in Color

I found the pictures! Yay!!!

Placing crystals into colors

Look at all the different colors Meadow made.

These are the crystals after being colored.

Observations that Meadow made:
Yellow and blue made green.
Different amounts of blue or yellow made different shades of yellow, blue and green.
Blue and red made purple.
Different amounts of blue and red made different shades of red, blue and purple.
Red and yellow made orange.
Different amounts of red and yellow made different shades of red, yellow and orange.

Science- Growing Mushrooms

I didn't take before pictures of our box, us doing the watering, keeping the case cool, damp and in a dark spot. I did take pictures of the mushroom. There are more, many more but this one was the first and it was huge! Meadow was so proud! She didn't eat it though. I'm hoping that in time she'll develop the same love I have for mushrooms.

It could have grown longer but she was ready to pick it!
