Day 50

Such a full day!  Poor Emily must be exhausted.  We started with Dance, and Luke went to Nana's house.  Then we went to the Esopus Bend Preserve with our group, COKAH.  We have been slowly evolving into something we weren't when we started, but I'm good with it.  It was great when the kids were younger, and it's great now.  Just different.  But then, so is life, so it's all good. 

After our walk, we dropped off the dopey dog at home, and played Flip4, a math game that they seem to like.  It's all about adding, subtracting and multiplying the dice rolls.  After that, I took them to Aikido.

Full day, right?  Well, not done!  Dad decided to do chemistry tonight.  It was the perfect lesson for tonight, because it was basically a refresher, and building an atom.  They then did the Crazy Electron Dance, which I unfortunately missed a picture of.  You haven't lived until you've seen two 9-year-olds and a grown adult doing the Crazy Electron Dance around the nucleus of black and yellow balloons.  It was really cool.

Not sure if you can see the plus signs on the yellow balloons showing that they are the protons, and they have grapes in their hands for the electrons.  They were very enthusiastic about this, which is saying something considering how busy we were all day!
