Circus and Science.

Recently, the kids and I went with a few friends to a local museum where we spent time in the science gallery and the special circus exhibit currently on display.  Between dressing up, walking on a tightrope, racing battery-operated k'nex cars around a track, looking at 'evidence' under a miscroscope at a CSI-type booth, and playing in the sand & water area, the kids had a great time.

Matthew on the tightrope...he loved it and told me on the way home that if he ever runs away it'll be to join the circus!
