On Friday we went to Lansing with the FRC homeschool group. We first went to the Impression 5 Science Center, and then after a quick picnic lunch in the van (it was pretty cold!) we went to the Michigan Historical Museum. The kids were able to take in a few science "workshops" at the science center. The older kids attended the static electricity workshop while I took Seth to one on the five senses. Since Seth will be learning the five senses this week in school, the workshop was a great introduction. All the kids were able to go to the chemistry workshop and make slime. I loved that Caleb was able to join us since NorthPointe did not have school last week Thursday or Friday.
