Family Fun Night At The Science Center

Saturday was family fun night for Evan's school. It was held at Impression 5 Science Center in downtown Lansing. The school holds this family night every year. It's free to families and they serve a free pizza dinner as well. Evan was super excited to go to this family fun night. It's been awhile since we had been to Impression 5, so he couldn't exactly remember which place it was until I started telling him things about it. Then it clicked and he remembered all the fun stuff there was to do there from the last time we went. For those of you not from the area, Impression 5 is a hands on science and technology center. It's a place where kids (and adults) can explore and discover the world in which they live in. It's a great learning environment for children (adults too). Last year Em was a little young to do some of the things there, but this year she definitely jumped right in on the action. Here's some of the fun the kids experienced.

Emmaline giving it a whirl at pitching. She was a little small to have her pitch speed register.

Evan wanted Daddy to pull both of them up on the chair.
So here's Greg using the pulley to raise them up.

Em gave it a whirl by herself, and she sat there while Daddy pulled the chair up.

Em weighing in on the scale.

Both Evan and Em loved going through the heart maze. Evan was so fast though so I didn't get his picture, but here's Em making her way through.
One of the favorite spots was the bubble area. The kids had so much fun you can see in the picture that they got the sleeves a little wet. Here they are getting trapped in bubble.
Before we left Em had to try out the digger because brother did. Evan didn't want anymore pictures so here's Em.

We had a fun evening and a big thanks to MSU CDL for providing this free family night!
