Homeschool Day at the Witte

We had such a good time at the Witte Museum last year that I knew we had to go to Homeschool Day again.  And at only $2/person, it was such a good deal!

We took our usual picture with the elephant.

 Reef's favorite part of the Witte is the HEB playhouse.  The main floor has all kinds of fun science experiments and a nice toddler area.  We are anxiously awaiting the improvements they are promising on the other floors.
Here, we learned about pulleys.  To give you an idea of how much he's grown, Reef couldn't pull himself up at all last year.  This year he went all the way to the top of even the hardest one!

 This may have been Poppy's favorite part.  You know our little music-lover enjoyed banging on the pots and pans!

 Another highlight is the rock-climbing wall.  Reef got a little nervous but still went for it.  He made it much higher than last year but decided to come down.  He said he got scared because I "looked small."

This year, we also decided to try out a class on habitats.  It ties into what we are learning in science.  Reef's (and Poppy's) favorite part was touching the live snake, frog, and mice.
We can't wait to go back next year and hope some friends can join us!
