While the boys are at piano lessons on Friday mornings, I gather all the materials needed for our science experiments. When they arrive home, they have a great time experimenting...
Joshua is learning about magnetism and was really impressed to see the paper clip suspended in air as it was pulled upward by the magnet. Can you tell in the picture that the paper clip isn't touching the magnet?
Last week, Matthew put some beans in a glass with a paper towel and some water and observed how the beans sprouted roots. Today he planted them and will chart how fast they grow.
These pictures were taken in August when we visited the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. Joshua bought the Oregon Ducks cap while we were there and is now constantly being asked if he's a Ducks fan (which is not a good thing to be here in Washington). He looks aggrieved when people ask him and says, "No! I just like the cap!" LOL!
We spent the weekend in Moclips which is 20 miles north of Ocean Shores. Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day, and we spent it playing beach football (Joshua and I took on Patrick and Matthew. Fun!), throwing frisbees, writing in the sand, roasting weiners and marshmallows, and Patrick even flew our kite and gathered a collection of seashells. We also had a nice indoor pool and hot tub available. It made for a fun get-away weekend. We were very pleased to have such good weather because it has been rainy and stormy here for the past few weeks.
