Wrapping up a fabulous Summer :)

What a fabulous summer we've had!!

We enjoyed our last days of summer outside

soaking up the sunshine!!

The girls LOVE to pick Mommy's beautiful flowers...

How can I resist those little faces?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday we went to Mindfest @ the Discovery Center!

There was TONS of fun experiments going on!

We made a Diet Coke fountain...

made with...

Duct Tape

A liter of Diet drink...

Piping

AND Mentos...you've seen this before, right?

Ritchie was the engineer for the project...

{he might have had more fun with this than the girls...}

Emma LOVES using scissors...

Teamwork!

Another cool multi-fountain

built by the Discovery Center Staff...

Ethan wasn't as impressed by our Coke Fountain as the girls...

Next we wandered over to the

"OOBLECK" experiment...

{'oobleck-a sticky consistency made of cornstarch & water}

The girls were a little unsure at first...

Finally they dove on in...

if you run {quickly} you dont sink...

a little help from Daddy...

Ethan joined in on the fun and LOVED it!

{typical boy...loves messiness!}

Abby talked Daddy in to joining her!

...There's just one thing...

if you stop, you sink...

{if you were wondering, yes, those are

new dresses, imagine my face right now...}

I hadn't planned on this messy day

and if I'd know about the free t-shirts inside we

most definitely would have hit that up first...

oh well, just add it to my pile of laundry...

I do LOVE her face here, she had SUCH fun!

What a gooey mess...

Emma finally braved it!

As Mommy was off taking pics of the girls

a little escape artist {aka Ethan} made a mad dash for

the pool of goo...

{Mommy got to him just in time...}

What a fun morning spent learning at

the Discovery Center with my sweet

little family!
