Lawrence Hall of Science

Well, we had a great day today. Cole and his friends Jack-Jack and Liam all have birthdays very close together, and their parents also happen to be good friends. So, it's a perfect excuse to get together and have some joint birthday fun each year!

Thanks to Deb for suggesting the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley. We went today and had such a good time, we decided to purchase a family membership. Whoo-hoo!

Just a glimpse of all the cool things Cole did today:

Experimented with momentum and orbits

Rearranged boards to form ramps and get ping pong balls to the bottom

Learned about hills and valleys

Checked out the effects of a concave mirror

Practiced counting and basic math

Created water currents and lock systems

Got read to by a beautiful older woman (aka Jack-Jack's sister Gracie)

Ate birthday cupcakes - yum!!!

Made body part imprints in the two-sided pin wall

Counted clone Coles in the mirrored triangle tunnel

(Coolest picture EVER! Can you even figure out which one is the real Cole??)

What a cool place! Hey, we have guest passes...... ;)

Have a great weekend!
