Loud Explosion Followed By A Big Mess!
The top of the tree exploded when it was hit by lightening!
We were awaken in the middle of the night with a very loud boom that shook the whole house! It was a rainy night. After looking around the house and yard we noticed the jungle gym looked like it was covered by a tree. We soon found out the tree was struck by lightening and the top exploded sending branches, sticks, leaves, and tree pieces in all directions. We found pieces over a hundred feet away from the actual tree. Thankfully the tree and debris did not hit the house. It did break a section of our fence, took out the kids slide, punched a hole in the jungle gym roof, fried our printer inside, and the fence for the animals.
Jungle gym covered with branches!
Leaves, branches, and debris all over the yard!
The slide did not make it!
What a mess! Well guess we know what we’ll be doing today! Thankfully it didn’t hit the house! The kids were a HUGE help and we got most of it cleaned up in one day!
Travel & Vacation: Boston Museum of Science
Our visit to the Boston Museum of Science
Another fascinating place to visit with kids is the Boston Museum of Science! The girls LOVED the Boston Museum of Science. We spent the first two hours in one room they enjoyed it so much. They probably could have spent an entire day going through everything. We covered the majority of the museum in several hours, but they would have been happy to stay longer if we had the time.
We went to the Lightening Show! It was awesome! If you look closely there is a lady in the giant “bird cage” which was struck by a large bolt of lightning.
Anything with animals is a hit with our girls
Mesmerized by the tornado display.
Karlie showing her electricity capicity.
The computer, electronics, and robotics room was a huge hit with the kids. In this picture they are putting together pieces to build robotic components that make noise, light up, turn on fans, and more!
Really Mom, it wasn’t me making that beeping noise!!!
Watching to see what robotics challenge is being giving. This was really neat! One of the workers kept giving them harder tasks to accomplish!
Working together to get the robotic to get through the course. They both finished their missions and earned their certificates.
Jake teaching Brina some computer coding skills!
One huge dinosaur!
Silly mirrors!
The musical steps were neat! I think the girls did several sets of stairs just so they could create music!
Yes, she is holding a skunk in her arms only a few feet from us!
Playing for a few minutes on the seesaw!
It was a blast exploring the Boston Museum of Science. The girls loved it! The only sad part is we had to go because the Museum was closing and we had to get moving on to our next stop. We stopped outside of Boston at a Ninety-Nine restaurant! Instead of serving bread before the meal they brought out fresh popcorn. The kids meals included an ice cream sandwich. It was nice to sit, relax, and talk about our fun adventures for the day. The food was delicious too!
