Membership Madness

Image
With the lower income rates Virginia offers we are able to have some incredible memberships. We have one for the Science Center and one for the Children's Museum. We go all of the time and the exhibits change often. We are looking forward to rat basketball on a future visit. I loved watching Mr.Wizard back in the day.

Some Highlights
1.The Mcdonalds next door offers Happy Meals for a dollar.
2.Making giant bubbles and wathcing them pop.
3. Butterflies landing on our shoulders.
4. A art center with smocks and little clean-up.
5. Mom groups, even if it does get crazy.
6.Taking granparents with us.

Claire's spiderweb, inspired by the animal lab. It is fun to get creeped out by the bugs and snakes when you know they're in a cage.

Free Fishing Day

What a perfect excuse to get together for a BBQ with our good friends. Virginia does a free day of fishing once a year. It was a hot muggy day, and then the rain came down hard. The kids panicked and so did the adults, but our friend Tommy did catch a fish and almost released him.
