A week off school

The week before last was Energy Week for the Vienna Public Schools.  It's kind of like a Spring Break of sorts.  The city offers lots of really cool things for school kids to do during the week, so Nathanael and I (well, I did) chose three activities for the week.

He participated in a workshop about bridges at the Architecture Center.  After learning all about bridges, they began constructing one!  Apparently Nathanael was really into it, which was no surprise.

The Children's Museum (Zoom) had a special exhibit teaching kids all about how we see and hear.  We attended that together, and although I have no pictures, he had a lot to tell Dad at dinner that night.  Did you know a dog's bark is louder than a truck? ;)

I did get pictures of our lunch out that day though!

So worn out!

Lastly, we visited the Natural History Museum and attended a special Dinosaur tour for kids which included a scavenger hunt and making their own fossil impressions at the end!  Nathanael (lover of PBS' educational TV show for kids, Dinosaur Train) was in six-year-old boy heaven!
