Field Trip to the Discovery Science Museum

Alec's class had another Field trip in December, this time to the Discovery Science Museum in Santa Ana. I had three boys in my car again this time, Alec H., Alec C. and Lucas. They were all three very well behaved and a crack up to listen to in the back seat of the car! At one point Alec asked me to put on his Christmas music and they all serenaded me with 'Do you hear what I hear?' Very sweet. It was a enjoyable morning with lots of fun activities for the kids. The museum is a very hands on place where the kids can touch and play with everything. Since there was a bout of the stomach flu going around the school I ended up following Alec around and dousing him with hand sanitizer anytime I could. I know, obsessive, but I REALLY wanted to avoid that flu this year!! Here are some pics from the day!

Alec's class outside the museum. Alec is in the front row with the sad look on his face. I have no idea what that was about!

Alec's favorite thing to play with at the museum was the sand and water table. It was a long table where the water started at one end and ran down the length of the table. The sand in it made it like a river. The kids could move and manipulate the sand to change the direction of the water. It was very cool!

Alec loved the rock wall! He could have stayed on that all day! He has become such a climber lately...anything that he can climb on top of, he is on it!

They had a room at the museum that was dedicated to bats. This particular exhibit in the room let the kids hear closer to how a bat hears. Personally, I just liked how funny the kids looked with the ears on!

Alec H., Alec C. and Lucas. Being my normal smart alec self (no pun intended) I had fun that day with both Alecs. Whenever I was behind them I would call out, "Hey Alec!" and wait for them both to turn around. I would then point and them and say, "Ha ha!! Gottcha!!" I know, I am a dork.
