My family was invited to visit the Perot Museum of Nature and Science for Summer Family Media Day on Tuesday, June 8.
As you can tell its been a while since we went but I wanted to share my thoughts on the Exhibit with you. With Covid-19 winding down things are returning to normal. Thank the Lord.
Although for my family were still having trouble getting Charlie out of the house. I didn’t think he would even come with me but Charlie surprised me and once we got to the Museum Charlie even began to have fun and I heard him laughing.
Charlie played Pacman with David and reminded me how we could use this game in our Homeschool Classes. Then Charlie reminded me of the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS books we have at home and how he couldn’t wait to get home and read them.
As we walked through the Exhibits Charlie and I found a lot of exhibits we could use in Homeschooling. Both Charlie and David had so much fun trying everything out and neither of them wanted to leave when we had to to get David to work.
This week Charlie even asked if the Exhibit is still going on and if we could return because he wanted to go back through the Exhibit and also into the Sports Hall to run and play Basketball.
Don’t miss The Science of Guinness World Records™ exhibition to discover the marvels of GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS holders and the Science (and secrets) behind their triumphs.
Inside the exhibit is the worlds largest Pac-Man videogame,that we were able to play. I just wish my mom were here because she would have loved this because Pacman is here all time favorite game.
Charlie and I were able to think fast with reaction competitions, Charlie was able to shoot some hoops and he even beat David and I at a game of Horse. Then Charlie reminded me we should bring my nephew Jason who would like to play Basketball,
David has fun testing his endurance with hang-time and balance challenges, while Charlie and I had fun showing off our dance moves at the dance-a-thon. Reminding me how fun Charlie and I used to have when we would dance for no, reason.
For a little bit I felt like I had my son back and we didn’t have any cares in the world. Covid-19 melted away and all the troubles and uncertainty Charlie has been feeling were gone.
Being here for the Exhibit reminded me why I wanted to Homeschool Charlie and even helped me see I could teach Science just by thinking outside the box.
