Science Museum Camp-In

Adriana's 5th grade class was chosen for
the Science Museum Camp-In Program.
Sponsored by Flint Resources.

She is getting ready to load up the bus trailer.

Adriana and Macie are good friends.

We started out exploration by admiring the
Mississippi River.

We got into lab coats and then ran out of time,
so we didn't get to finish our experiment on Saliva.

We went to the Weather Station.

Macie, Adriana, Nansea, Anna, and Brianna:
had a blast making tornadoes.

Here is footage of one attempt,
with much success ;)

The group moved onto the Light Station.

They had a chance to be newscasters.
They were reading prompts on a screen,
the BIG NEWS was about the end of the world.

Lori was amused with this case,
about all the things that have been flushed down toilets.

Parkview was assigned to sleep with the dinosaurs.

Adriana wanted to sleep right next to Lori...
secretly Lori wanted to sleep right next to Adriana too.

The boys slept on one side of the room.

The girls slept on the other side of the room.

Adriana had fun seeing how many of her friends,
could fit into the tube that represented a dinosaurs stomach.
They got about twice this many girls.

Here was our breakfast view of the Mississippi River.

We experience a "Cool Science" show about...
Liquid Nitrogen.

After leaving the store we climbed more stairs
to get our luggage and find the buses.

State Capital

Friday morning we went to the State Capital.

There are so many details put into the building.

This is some information listed right as you walk in.

This is an 8 pointed star on the floor.
When people lobby or protest, they can walk on this star.

If you look above the star, there is a HUGE chandelier.
Compared to the dome it doesn't look so big.

Adriana admires the star from the back of the circle.

There was so much ornate details...

all over the place.

It was an amazing experience, and the tour guide was hilarious.

No School = Nickelodeon Universe

We went to Nickelodeon Universe last Friday.

Here are:
Alexis, Ryan, Adriana, and Emily,
waiting in line for the
Fairly Odd Parents roller coaster ride.

3 out of 4 had a blast...

I'll let you be the judge of the 1 (in a brown shirt)
who was scared the whole time.

Andrew and Alexis are good friends.

Here are the girls waiting for the Log Chute ride.

Here are the boys waiting for the Log Chute ride.

The big water blast was barely caught on tape...

There were many more rides enjoyed.
Littles rocked with Tennants at MOA!

Daddy/Daughter Sock Hop

Adriana and David had fun going to the...
Daddy/Daughter Sock Hop.

It was an activity put on by the Burnsville Stake,
for the 10-11 year old Activity Girls.

They had a professional photographer taking pictures.

They served Spaghetti and Salad for dinner.

Daddy's did daughter's hair.

Lori does Adriana's hair for a reason ;)

The next activity was to make Valentine's
for a Food Shelter.

David shaved Adriana's face.

Then it was Adriana's turn to shave David's face.

Adriana and David had fun learning a simple dance.

They had a blast dancing,
once they caught on a little.

Skateville FUN

The girls had fun going to Skateville with their friends.

Alexa, Eden, Alexis, Adriana, and Emily.

Adriana and Emily were caught skating together most of the night.

Alexis took breaks and then would join the crowd.

No School

Martin Luther King Jr. Day...
No School!

Macie and Adriana

Alexis and Maddie

Kyle and Josh

Even Isaac bowled...
Noah and Matthew were probably,
showing off their bowling skills during picture time!

Baby Shower

Jaime and Lori threw a Baby Shower for Sarah Lewis.

There were many friends there,
and we all squished ourselves into the living room.

Jaime made this adorable "Diaper Cake"

We ate yummy food too,
isn't that what truly makes a GREAT baby shower?

Zahradnik Visit

The Zahradnik family came to COLD Minnesota, for a visit.

We went to the Bowling Alley.

Aunt Cheryl grew 'bunny ears',
that look very similar to Alexis' fingers.

The 3 girl cousins were on a team.

Alexis got a STRIKE!

Then on Sunday the replaced their
bowling shoes for their church shoes.
Thanks for coming up and spending time with us!
