Austin Children's Museum

Second Grade Field Trip 2010
We were supposed to picnic at Zilker park before the zoo but it rained buckets! So, the kids had to eat at 9:30 am in their classrooms. Interesting start to the day...

In the classroom, playing games and eating "lunch". Ready to go!


This was an exhibit modeled after a local childrens' author's books. Her books are about her life growing up in Texas and her family traditions and such. It was a really neat exhibit.


I love this picture will all the girls working with the nuts and bolts. The kids were encouraged to use their imaginations to "engineer" things.


Huge exhibit about air that the museum employees built themselves. Very, very cool. This thing used air to push those circles.


These things were to see how things sound if ears were different shapes. Or something like that.

Very fun museum. Paul went in second grade too and it was neat then. Very unique and "Austin". They embrace the "Keep Austin Weird" slogan.
