science and steak


My side of the family celebrated Christmas with a trip to the Exploratorium followed by our now annual (woot!) dinner at House of Prime Rib, or as I affectionately call it, HOPR. There's nothing like a little learning followed by a little (or a lot!) or eating.
It was Mirabelle and Mayanna's first trip to the Exploratorium. The Exploratorium is one of our favorite museums. We went a lot for school field trips and continue to go as adults. I remember one field trip where we got to play with liquid nitrogen. Awesome!

Here's Mirabelle and Mayanna learnin':


Trav wore his glasses so he'd look like he knew a lot about science!
Here's a picture of Trav trying out the mood ball. His favorite mood occurred with the color red!
Mirabelle and Mayanna loved running around the weird proportion house...that is until i tried to take their picture. I made science no fun.

Here's Trav and Mark checking out the guy science. I think it was an engine or some rotater-thingy. I'm sure they knew all about it...
Megan pressing her luck (if you can't tell there's a grand piano hangin right over her head!):
After a full afternoon of science, it was finally time to partake in some awesome meat! yum! A great way to end the year (importantly before and New Year's resolutions about diet, etc...).
