Questacon

In the capital city of Canberra,

there is a great science museum called Questacon.

It really gives you a lot of hands-on things to play with.

Here we are showing water flowing and the

power it has to move little plastic balls.

However.....
once Silas found a toy construction site....

No more exploration was needed.

"Silas, let's look at something else.  We have been playing at this construction site for over two hours!"

Well, we didn't see much, but Silas had fun.

Volcano

More Science.  I'm just glad it didn't involved real fire and lava.

Dentist

We took Silas to a dentist today, not because he needed his teeth cleaned, but to get him used to the idea of going.

"Rinse and Spit"

He sat quietly with his mouth open.

Well done Silas!

Looking cool in his glasses, but I think his tongue is tired.

Ok Silas, you can close your mouth now! Ha ha ha

Asleep

Silas was in the car playing with his umbrella.

Then, things got a bit too quiet.

Upon further investigation, we discovered he was out cold!

Fixing a Chair

Silas surprises me sometimes when he is able to do things on his own.

Here he is tightening the screws on his chair with a wrench.

Writing Practice

Another pre-school exercise.

Silas is learning to write!

Bus Kid

I grew up riding buses, but this was Silas'

first ride since he was just a bub.

Waiting for the bus.

Excited for the ride.

He just looks so darn cute.

Here is a short video

MegaBlocks Pile

Silas wanted to play with MegaBlocks,

but after I dumped out the blocks, he disappeared!

Alphabet Basketball

As part of Silas' preschool work,

Mum has him working on his alphabet. Combining 26 letters with basketball is genius.

Hungry Jacks

Mum doesn't let Silas have much "junk food."

Also, his allergies prevent him from eating most things.

However, today Mum let him try a burger and hot chips (fries)

from Hungry Jacks (Burger King in the USA).

And it will be the last time he has Hungry Jacks.  We had an allergic reaction a few minutes later.  :(

Big Bear at Costco

I like this bear, it makes Silas look small for a change!

And a short video showing the bear attack Silas.
