In school the kids have been learning about American Indians and stars/constellations, so I figured this was the perfect time to visit our old favorite, the Schiele Museum and Planetarium. Plus, this is the year we have a family pass to all the zoos and museums, so we have to pack in as many visits as we can! Plus, we only have one more week of school, and the kids (and I) have been losing momentum.... so it was time to spice things up again.
The Native Americans exhibit was of particular interest this time, and the kids got up-close and personal with some of them!
Then, after "doing some texting" as Rayna called this activity:
... we went outside, where Colsen was
finally able to see more
live animals.
Then we went exploring down the wooded path...
... and the kids were able to play in the water near an old Grist Mill. Pretty cool. And pretty!
Finally, we wrapped up the afternoon with a planetarium show. I realized none of the kids had ever experienced one before (how is that possible??). They all thought it was cool....
.... and I did, too, until 4 minutes into it when Colsen told me he needed to go to the bathroom -- even though he had just gone 10 minutes before. He continued to ask me if he could go at 5-minute intervals throughout the rest of the show.
Other than that, it was fascinating.
Another great field trip for Poplar Streams Academy! (Right, Cole??)
