8/20/12: Museum & words

Callen has a few new words today.  He clearly pointed to doors several times today and said "doh" (door).  He also signed & said "nana" (banana).  He constantly amazes me with what he understands and remembers.

Today I took the kids to the free day at the Denver M*useum of Nature and Science.  Both kids had fun.

Quick shot on our way in


Elodie looking at a telescope in the space exploration exhibit.

The first thing we did was go to the Space Exploration exhibit since we had just studied the sun and the moon.  I think this exhibit was harder for Elodie to get into because there's so much information and science jargon.  She did listen to an entire presentation on why blood can boil in space (change in pressure).  Then we met up with some friends in the Gems exhibit, but then they were going to the Space one so we took a break for lunch.  We never did catch back up with them, but some other friends found us while we were eating and ate with us.  After lunch, we went through the dinosaur exhibit.  Again, Elodie listened for a very long time to a hands on presentation on dinosaur stuff.






Lastly, we did the human body one and I think it was both kids' favorites (I know it was Elodie's...guessing it was Callen's).

I couldn't catch him fast enough, but he was making the skeleton do as he did :)  Then when we got home tonight and were showing daddy the photos, he remembered exactly what that was a photo of and started moving his arms out to his sides. :)  Smart boy.

Ribbons!









Tonight, Elodie had her first real soccer practice.  She's in a U7 girls' team with practices twice per week and games on Saturday.  She's going to miss 4 games when we're in California, but she get to go to three in October.




Baby brother worked daddy out while we watched :)

He was loving to plunk himself down hard into daddy's lap!
