We started out at the Bean Museum. There were six kids in my group and I'd like to go on the record as saying that 8-year-olds are difficult to wrangle, so having six really kept me on my toes. They wanted to go every which way, and I wasn't given a long rope to have all of them hold on to, and I tried really hard to keep my voice at a respectable museum level, and by some miracle I didn't lose anybody.
I get a kick out of these pictures because I had one member of my group who was less than thrilled about the museum when we first arrived. See if you can guess which one. He warmed up a little by the time we were leaving.
From the Bean Museum, we found a quiet place outside to eat our bagged lunches, then we walked across campus to the Eyring Science Building for a show at the planetarium. The only picture I have from here is when we were in the lobby, which is full of interactive science displays, and the kids were gathered around the Foucault Pendulum, somewhat mesmerized. I was nervous that the planetarium show was too advanced for 3rd graders (even though the staff chose a show that wasn't terribly technical) but Jack really enjoyed it and enjoyed sharing facts he learned with his siblings when they were reunited.
