Anyway, a few months back we went to the California Science Center on a field trip. Even more exciting was the fact that Daddy was able to go with us as well!
The Science Center was having a CSI exhibit as their special program, and for all you who know me I LOVE the show CSI! So, this was great for all of us. We got to view a "crime scence" and figure out what we would need as clues from the scene to solve the murder mystery. And then we went through the "lab" and examined all our clues and data that we had "retrieved." We even got to go to the "autopsy room" and view the body and talk to the doctor. And the whole time were being guided by the dreamy CSI Investigator, Nick Stoles from the TV show. Okay, so maybe the rest of the family wasn't as excited as I was. After completeing all the parts we got to check and see if our conclusion was the right one. And guess what, we were right! I guess all those hours watching CSI paid off!
The girls tried out rock climbing! I am so proud of them for trying it out. Emma didn't want to at first because she thought it looked too high, but then when we told her she didn't have to go all the way to the top she was game to give it a try. Both girls were so excited and wante dto go again!
We also watched the IMAX movie Under The Sea in 3-D. It was really cool but the 3-D started to give me a headche, again. The girls had a great time watching it and it was really fun and educational. We learned about all different kinds of sea life. It talked about most of the sea animals that are in Finding Nemo. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming!
And of course we tried out all the different exhibits.
The whole time we were having fun and learning at the same time! Now that's my idea of school! I love the freedom that homeschooling gives us to take a day and go do something fun!
