We have felt what the taste of spring feels like here in the mountains. Of course we HAD to go outside and enjoy the crisp air and melting snow. We have done schoolwork outside and mixed in some playtime and bubble blowing and old fashioned monkey business. We have also taken a field trip to a science museum and enjoyed a planetarium show along with petting sharks, seeing an electric eel and other sea creatures and just exploring science. All this while running my ninth grader and her friend back and forth to drama practice each night and other school functions in which I feel like I should put a taxi cab sign on my roof and start charging. :) Busy season it is, but at least the snow is melting and we have seen geese and robins! I think winter is on her way out and spring may just be right around the corner!
Above you see that grass plus 50 degrees means it is bubble blowing time!
My kids have been wanting to ride their bikes for weeks now. So they HAD to get them out and see what it is like riding in the snow. They found out real fast that they needed to stay on the grass. I remember as a kid I couldn't wait to get my bike out the first signs of spring!
Here is my little monkey just hanging around! She is getting so big!
Here she is making a top at the museum.
Here are all the kids having fun testing out the Spin Circle.
Do you see the look on her face? She is rolling different objects to see which rolls faster. She loved this exhibit.
You can't go wrong with Lincoln Logs. I used to LOVE these as a kid and I have to say that they had an awesome amount and I played at this table and had fun building the little houses.
Here is my son building with wood scraps. All of these with wood and creatures were taken in an exhibit called "The Tree House" and it was a favorite among the kids.
Above is a puppet show that I was able to watch. It was very entertaining. :)
Here they are building wind mills with Tinker Toys. Another favorite.
