Discovery Day

On Saturday, Finn and Jack and I went with Julie and Scarlett to Discovery Day at the school where Julie teaches - Moorpark College. Moorepark has an amazing early education center there and they really know how to put together a shindig for a bunch of little kids.

They had cool stations set up all over the place. There were several hammering options like the one above.

All kinds of cool bubble wands.

Play houses.

Reading corners.

More bubbles.

Mad scientist mixing laboratories - Finn's favorite!

Jack preparing to use a real hammer and nails!

Scarlett wondering why the boys got metal hammers and she got stuck with the wooden mallet.

Finn pretending he's a pirate boarding a ship.

Jack showing off his great swinging technique. (The "no-hands" moment that came right after this was a little terrifying.)

A couple of happy kids. These pictures don't quite do this day justice. They really had a lot of amazing things set up for the kids. You could make your own boats out of styrofoam and try racing them, there was home made play dough, jello and even oobliob to muck about with! There were places where kids could do their own face painting in front of a giant mirror. Plus, of course, lots of great play equipment. Finn and Jack and Scarlett were a little worn out by the end, but I think they had a really great time.

Pictures of Felix' birthday party on Sunday are coming soon!
