BYU Astrofest

I had never heard of it either.  But Andrew saw an article about it in the school newspaper.  We thought it would be fun and it didn't disappoint.  They had a station for kids to make rockets and shoot them up into the air.  And the bouncy house and obstacle course were supposed to mimic exploring mars.  Quite the stretch.  But hay, any reasoning to justify a bouncy house is good reasoning to me.  And they had educational presentations in the planetarium and in other rooms.  I wish we could have stayed longer. If you've ever wondered how to get Andrew into a bouncy house, now you know.

We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
