Today was a great day! We did day two of 'space camp' with the Cox family. Unfortunately I didn't think to bring my camera. But I will write a little about it. Our fist experiment was rolling up balls of newspaper which we blew with straws into a 'goal' for air hockey. The experiment was to see which type of balls were harder or easier to move. The kids had a really good time with it and did pretty well taking turns. (Annika did not come--she was napping, so by kids I mean Caleb and the Cox's.) Caleb was so attentive and careful. He was happy when Jill asked him a question and answered it well.
Then we did this one where we tied fishing line between two chairs with a staw on it and then taped ballons of different capacities on that weren't knotted. We saw how far each balloon would go. Matthew blew up a really big one and it made us wonder how far a balloon would go so we moved outside and got one from the Cragun's deck to the Cox's backyard. Jill's brother, his wife, and kids were all participating too. It was so fun!
