We had a big, fun day! We started out the day by going to
the STEM exhibit at Boise State. It was basically a giant nerd convention that
coincided with the science fair. They rounded up who’s who and what’s what in
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and put them all together at BSU on
the same day. I was a champ at being impressed with things I neither care
about, nor could ever be so talented as to put together, so that hopefully my
kids will become far superior to me at math and science and one day have an
interest in them. I was certainly not so lucky, but I feel like it is my job as
a parent to let my kids explore everything they may be interested, so they can
form interests independent of my own.
BUT, I was pleasantly surprised and actually enjoyed myself
along with my mini nerds (and I say that with the highest level of respect and
admiration for bona fide nerds… I will never be so smart).
Here are some pics of the nerd convention STEM
Exhibit.
Kaden's heat shield being tested out.
Playing with the fun Kinex (sp?) toys!
Writing his heat shield time by his name (21 seconds!)
The amazing robot that shot (and made!) hoops!
Magnifying glass fun for the whole family!
Kaden's artwork and the amazing transfer of images via sound waves.
Then it was time to go celebrate Ian’s birthday so after
recording a stupid video presentation for my Research Methods class, we all
headed out to Nampa and had a hilarious and fun time (as always) with the
besties. It was a small get-together (my fave… so much less pressure to
conform) and then we drove home in the INSANE fog, basically steering by
braille on the roadway it was so thick.)
Ian opening his present. :) (And Miss Salem eating her dinner!)
In 15 years, we won't find this nearly as cute! :)
Sneaky little thing. We are in BIG trouble!
Crackers time!
Besties having their dinner!
