A day at the park lead to a interesting talk about crows and ravens. This lead to a day of learning about Corvids

Then on May 8th Zoe gave birth to five beautiful babies. 3 boys and 2 girls. We all sat with her threw the whole birth.

Polymer fun. We did a series of experiments with polymers and learned all about them and how we use them in our day to day world

We made sticky slime. They all had alot of fun with this.

During the polymer experiments we reviewed absorption and volume again

We went to a very large birthday party. It was great because we don't have alot of little kids in our world and there were alot there. It gave Bug a chance to interact with younger kids for a change. She did great :)

Surprise bouncy castle

We did more experiments with the polymers, this time we saw the differnent effects of heat and cold

We made cheese
