Field Trip with M & M

First, about the lack of a smile in my last post. It is very serious business trying to take a photo in a mirror – one must concentrate on what they are doing. Maybe I should have cropped my head off as Stephanie did in this photo she took in the apron. And doesn’t it look fabulous on her? So to placate all those who want to see me smile, here you are:

Today we gave Stephanie a respite and took Mia and Miles to  OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. This is a wonderful place for children of all ages to explore and learn about all the fields of science. There was a special exhibit of Robots. But M & M particularly love the exhibit where young children can learn about wild life through interactive play.

Here some memories of the day. (Photos are clickable for a larger view.)

The last photo shows the Willamette and the Hawthorne Bridge through the windows. I loved the geometry of this shot.

    we haven’t been to omsi in ages…15 years ago when I was in school …learning the art of dental hygiene…we spent what little money we had on a family pass to omsi…my dear husband would take 4 kids almost every weekend..so I could study…omsi holds a place in my heart….it would have been a lot harder on us all with out it!!

    You are just having all kinds of fun. M & M are leading a charmed life with such fun grandparents. LOVE the apron, and great to see your smiling face. Jen
