Day 3 already? The Nestle Family Summer Block Party is half over already! Have you been entering all the great giveaways on all five blogs?
Obviously, by looking at my blog, you have realized by now that science is a major part of my life. I love talking at career fairs and sharing the fun of science with those who may eventually venture into the field. One of the places I love to take my kids for hands-on experiences is the Louisiana Children’s Museum located right here in New Orleans. Who ever said New Orleans isn’t for kids?!? With so many hands-off places for little ones in this world, it’s nice to take my girls to a place that is completely kid friendly, fun and educational.
With over 30,000 square feet and more than 100 interactive exhibits, my kids LOVE this place! The girls love reading section, the supermarket, the pretend restaurant and of course the science exhibits! This weekend, the Louisiana Children’s Museum is hosting “Fetch! Beach Science” on Saturday, July 17th from 11:00am-3:00pm. From the website:
“Dive into the science of the beach. Do an experiment in the Atrium to find out why you can float better in salt water. Learn about the spirals of a sea shell and then create your own in Art Trek. Discover sand writings and make a sand bottle. Help measure the length of a blue whale in our architecture exhibit.”
Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend! And it’s even air-conditioned…BONUS!

I like going to the ( air-conditioned ) movies!
staying in the air conditioning
I like going to the beach and biking through sprinklers. On an unbearable day though, sitting in front of the vent works

We live in Florida so do a lot of air conditioned activities like play games or do crafts. When we do dare the sun, it’s usually to a water park or pool where we can cool off. ….Tiffypoot@aol.com

drink lots and lots of water and do not spend time outside if it’s hotter than 90
To beat the heat , we buy a LOT of Sunsreen and take to the water, community pools, lakes, backyard water slides and sprinklers.
We spend a lot of time at the nearby river–floating around on rafts.
Swimming at Grandma’s & lots of popsicles.
