Science and Math Night

The kids school hosted a "Math and Science Night" which was meant to introduce the kids to math and science skills at all different grade levels.  The kids had a blast, well at least Rory and Jack did, Brendan is not a fan of going back into the school building after school hours, apparently he feels that it is inhumane that we do that.  Oh well, good thing he starts the full day school year in the fall!

Anyway, the first station they went to was run by the preschool teachers, and the science experiment was one that needed goggles....

...Brendan participated as well, but had no interest in letting me take a picture of him with his goggles...

The experiment had to do with putting an Efferdent tab in a film canister, (2 things that I didn't think were still available) and adding vinegar, then you shook it up and put it on the table lid side down, and then the canister shot like a rocket high into the ceiling....it was a HUGE hit!

The highlight of the evening was a show in the cafeteria put on by a guy named Dinosaur George.  Since all of the kids are very into dinosaurs (I can name about 25 of them) and the event was free...we were there!  He brought lots of dinosaur bones and was very funny...he was so entertaining that Jack sat still for the entire 45 minute show, so now I think this guy is a miracle worker too!

Brendan is not a huge fan of big crowds and super loud noises, so he took a walk with Bryan...

That would be Brendan and Bryan along the wall at the rainbow painting, I think Brendan was trying to go Somewhere Over the Rainbow!

As a reward for being so good during the presentation, Rory and Jack were able to have their picture taken with Dinosaur George and a T-Rex bone!

Jack really was thrilled about the whole thing!
