First Friend Day of 2018: CDM


Technically this occurred on a Thursday instead of a Friday, but it was an outing with friends, so I'm counting this as our first Friend Day of the year.


If you haven't been, the Creative Discovery Museum is the perfect activity to do with younger kids, especially if it is cold or rainy.

The upstairs exhibit "RUN, JUMP, FLY" is about to be over (they rotate exhibits through the year), so we enjoyed another chance to do it again. Jack really loves the snowboard/surf activity. And the kids all had fun "skating" in their socks.


We moms even helped the kids with a kinetic activity involving a bicycle that made wings flap.


After the kids were tired of the exhibit, we went downstairs to do our usual things: building with scrap wood, learning about electricity, playing musical instruments, and digging for dinosaur bones.


I love how sneaky the CDM is in getting kids to love learning. It is all play, but it is all education too... just like how we do a lot of our homeschooling!
