yesterday...

... was a blur. We started out our day at the Adler Planetarium with our homeschool group. It is so much fun to be part of such a fun and active group. The kids had a great time yesterday and really learned quite a bit. I was afraid the planetarium might be short on exhibits and we wouldn't be entertained for long... but the kids LOVED it and we had to leave before we had seen it all so a trip back there is definitely in order especially since we're doing a year long study of astronomy this year. It really helped to bring to life several of the things we had talked about already.

Here is Clara seeing what she would look like while being sucked into a black hole....Alex doing a little research...
The kids really enjoyed the Zula Patrol exhibit. I had never heard of the TV show, but perhaps we should look it up. They loved all of the hands on stuff. I would love to go back there with them alone so we could study it all a bit more... and maybe next time we'll get tickets for the movie as well.

Here are pics of Alex and Clara experimenting with the wind display....

After the planetarium we went straight to Clara's gymnastics, then straight to Alex's rehearsal and then finally home around 8:30 so the kids didn't take their showers last night. Now we all need to get clean this morning before we head out!

Hopefully I'll post more later!

Have a great day!
