On Monday we took the day off school to go visit the science museum. When we go there on field trips with our church's homeschool group, we often have scheduled activities and don't get to tour the whole museum much. (It's also hard to when you have a bunch of little kids). So we just decided we were going to go for the day. We needed a break from school anyway. Our friends, the Hutchins, were also able to go with us, so that made it all the more enjoyable!

We were able to go into a laboratory, I guess you'd call it, and do some different experiments.
 |
| Lauren and Daniel are practicing using Micropipettes (I doubt I spelled that right) |
 |
| Here (and below) we're trying to figure out, by using water and corn starch, which unknown substance is Iodine. |

| You need a white coat to be a real scientist! |
Tuesday evening we had a cookout for supper. We had planned to have one a couple weeks ago, but the weather turned cold on us, so it had to be postponed. We got a few warm days this week and took advantage of the nice weather.
 |
| We roasted hot dogs and marshmellows... |
 |
| ...and made pizza mountain pies! |
 |
| Yum. |
