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.
