One day when Jim went to his conference, the children and I ventured out to Cite Des Sciences. Very cool museum. They had 2 different types of tickets to choose from--we chose the kids section for ages 5-12 (parents allowed too). Josiah just made it (he turned 13 four days later). So we went for it. Much fun was had by all.

| Marianna sends a ball up the tube into a water funnel |
 |
| You did it, Marianna! |
 |
| Marianna and Liam playing with balls on water fountains |
 |
| Liam aims a water gun towards a ball to move it up a ramp (this was much more difficult than it looks) |
 |
| Liam helps set up dams in this water flow area |
 |
| Marianna speedily turns crank to send water up to top--goal is to fill bucket so it will topple over. Mission accomplished! |
Marianna and Liam listen to greetings in different languages across the globe.

| Kathryn at the screen controls |
 |
| What's the forecast in Paris today, Marianna? |
 |
| Kathryn films Josiah on the set |
 |
| Josiah . . . take 2 |
 |
| Jammin' to the music |
 |
| Josiah films the band--make sure you get good angles on the guitarist and keyboard player. |
 |
| Liam sticks his head in the bubble to get a close-up of the ant farm restaurant. Even the ants dine well in Paris, huh? |
 |
| Don't look now, but there are 2 giant black ants behind you! |
Liam and Marianna get timed on running speed.
We also got to watch two 3-D movies, which were included with our museum tickets. Though they were in French, we could still figure a lot of it out by the pictures. One was on evolution, and was not so easy to follow. The younger children thought the characters were kind of cute, but it was a little strange on the delivery, plus the French language factor. The second one was about honey bees, and was much easier to follow and understand, even in French.

Happy Birthday to Josiah!!!! I'm sure he'll always remember it!--Pam
Thank you. I had a great one. We went to the Olympic Museum with one of our neighbors. At the Olympic Museum, there is a description of each sport, and then it talks about famous event that happened in 1992, when the Olympic were here. One famous event was the Dream Team. It was the 1st year USA decided to use their pros in the Olympics, so they won each game by 40 points. There was also an area that had running and jumping games. They timed how high you jumped and how fast you ran. That was fun. After the Olympic Museum, we ate at a restaurant and got to watch the first half of the Barca vs. Madrid game.
