On Saturday, Wes and Wayne went to camp to spend the night. Cole has been having a rough time lately, so I thought it would be a good time to do something special for him. A couple of years ago, we went to the Montshire Museum in Norwich, and he's been asking to go again. I thought this would be a good time.
Heather experiments with pulleys and belts.
An underwater tornado, which Cole tells me is NOT the same as a whirlpool.
Heather tents herself with a giant bubble.
Cole discovers how frogs see.
Viscosity of different liquids.
A live bee hive. There's a tube so they can go outside.
live carpenter ants
Cole participated in a Science Lab about red blood cells and was able to get a look at his own cells from the inside of his cheek.
Meanwhile, Heather compared her height to that of a dinosaur bone.
We ran into Kim Adams and her two children (apparently, the Montshire is the place to be when the hubbies are at camp) who texted a photo of this moose to Barry. It must have brought him luck because the next time we passed by her she said he had gotten one.

Cole defies gravity.
There are lots of things to do outside, including nature trails, but the weather was not great, so we didn't explore of the outdoors.
We did go on the planet walk
The planets are to scale, so the sun was a huge ball and Venus was a little bead.
It was a fun trip.
Just so you know, it is now Sunday afternoon and Heather just came in from outside and announced that it is snowing.
Loved seeing these pictures, Darlene, as I have never been to the Montshire Museum. I have heard lots about it though, and one of the grade levels in New Boston go every year.
ReplyDeleteI think it is nice that you did something special for Cole. Hope Cole feels better, soon!
