I signed the boys up for a pumpkin science event Saturday morning at the nature center near our house.

Their first task was to find pumpkins that had been hidden outside.

Then they went inside and learned about their pumpkins. They measured and weighed them, learned all about the different parts of a pumpkin, and decorated them too.

Luke loved seeing a pumpkin cut in half. Adam was surprised to learn that pumpkins float.

While Dave and the boys did their pumpkin experiments, Maggie and I hung out on the playground.

When the boys were done, they joined us.

It was a lot of fun, and I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes open for other events held there.
