OMSI with 2nd Graders

The second graders at Jake's school took their annual field trip to OMSI in downtown Portland.

The T-Rex. Quite an impressive exhibit. His name was Samson.

A close up of the head.
All the veins and arteries in the human body.





The infra-red light. Notice Jake shooting his gun. I will note that I did not think this imaging flattering for me....



Jake and best bud Kelvin eating outside. They are next to the river, almost under the I-5 bridge.


Doing Chemistry experiments:


Pulleys and measures exhibit. This one kept him entertained for a good 25 min.



It is quite an impressive place to learn.









The BEST part: taking a picture of Jake loading on the bus home. Notice I am outside the bus, yes, I had the forethought to ask the teacher if I could take my own car. I avoided two hours in a bus full of noisy, smelly second graders. I think I'm pretty smart even without all the intellectual exhibits.

Great idea of driving you own car, I'm going to have to file that little gem away for future reference.

Cute pictures.
