Cuddly Kiddos

They woke up in a cuddly kind of mood.

Alien Bubbles- Otherwise known as the coolest Project EVER!!!

We took dry ice and made bubbles. It was super easy all you need is Dry Ice, an empty container with a tight fitting lid, a tube, a funnel, duct tape, bubble solution and a container to put it in.
And you can make these amazing bubbles
You just put the funnel in the bubble solution and all the gas from the dry ice creates smoke filled bubbles
When you pop them the smoke lingers it is pretty awesome
Catching a Bubble
popping the Bubble isn't that awesome.
The funnel made huge bubbles

Pop!
Smaller bubbles




Our contraption

Add hot water fast and close quickly
This was one of my favorite projects ever. We will definitely be doing it again!

A Diet Pepsi and Mento Volcano

We had a Volcano erupt on our street. Well two it was awesome
Kaia pulled the string Mikey was not interested.

Aquarium of the Pacific

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific and it was awesome. We learned about new programs and activities they have.

For instance I never noticed the tiles when you walk in... Bring a notebook and some crayons and you can collect images of all the fish on the tiles.

There is a room where you can learn about North and South Pole right now
I know you can't really see them but we also got to touch Moon Jellies. Yep Jelly Fish I had no idea you could pet Jelly Fish without being stung but yes you can the Moon Jellies were soft and fun to pet.
Anchovies
Kaia loved the Sea Lions they kept swimming past her and so she started "swimming" past them

The Baby Shark pool you can touch the sharks in here

But not this one
Sea Dragon

We went early and got to see al the divers cleaning and feeding the fish
I also never noticed the embossing stations you can go and learn more about each animal and get a cool embossed image
This exhibit was a bit odd to me not sure if you can read it but it says Smell the Smell. I have never once wanted to smell a Sea Bird but you can hear.
There was an awesome room where the kids got to dress up like fish and see and touch some Tide pool creatures



The Aquarium of the Pacific was awesome. We will definitely be going back more often it was such a great experience and the kids got to learn so much I love how hands on it was it really kept the kids attention and kept them wanting more the entire time

Stalking Animals at the Zoo

We went to the Zoo and had a great time. Kaia brought her camera she made at school and took pictures of all the animals. Here though she was scaring us all with her ability to mimic a LION perfectly.



Taking pictures... she also did her own hair.


What was she taking a picture of?
Hyenas...but I am sure you can see the image on the back of the camera. See she is showing you below =)
