Celebrating the end of school...

To celebrate the end of the school year we went and got grossed out at the Arizona Science Museum. The kids had a blast. We got to shoot things into noses, sniff and guess where the smell came from (way too real), slide down stomachs and generally learn about some "gross" things our bodies do. They also learned about some gross animal "stuff". The have a brand new planetarium too. To be honest, I never saw a planetarium show before. This was really cool though. The kids and us parents had a really fun time!

Christian got a chance to feel what it was like to become poop.

He got to race a dung ball up the hill...

We ended the day at Chuckee Cheese and got to let our brains pretty much melt there for awhile. This video is really funny. Notice Christian up at the front dancing his heart out at first to "earn" more tickets. He doesn't even know Chuckee throws the tickets. Katie is there to grab them up.

Okay, this is not from the Grossology exhibit. It is just too cute not to post. Katie is quite the dresser. Black shirt with her camouflage capri's, ruby slippers and hot pink underskirt (supposed to go under another skirt for dance). I love her. She is my kind of girl. She is loving the freedom of summer.

Looks like they had a blast! Interesting... Didn't know there was a "Gross" Museum around. We'll have to let some of our guys friends know. They might get a kick out of it. J/K

Summer vacation already! We're hanging on until June 18th. I can hardly wait!

So what is on your agenda for the summer?

We get out of school the third week of May. Early. But we go back to school Aug 6th. Early also. But I like it that way. We get a week break in the Fall, at least 2 weeks for Christmas and another whole week for Spring Break which gives the kids time to rest and go back. We start swim lessons today. Our big plans are going home to Cali in July for a week and then off to Utah for a Reunion for a week. After that we will be broke from the cost of gas. But you have to see family sometime...and it has been planned for 3 years. Right before school starts (and the first day of it) Mike has a conference in Nashville and we are taking the kids with us this time. So, we are doing a lot. I guess we are making up for last summer when we didn't go anywhere but Chuckee Cheese. :)

Looks pretty gross!! (and fun too). We went to a similar kind of museum a few months ago, and my kids still talk about it all the time. It was pretty impactful! Sounds like you guys have all kinds of fun planned for summer.
