Friday night Robby and I attended the USU Science Unwrapped snake event. This was the first unwrapped that we've been to and it was awesome. All kinds of fun activities and live creatures to check out. Robby had to take a step back as the snake handler first took out the giant Burmese Python and practically laid it at our feet while he put the lid to the box back on. It was a tense 10-15 seconds and felt much longer than that. That's Robby's hand you can see in the bottom right of the picture and that's after taking a couple steps back.
Fresh river water creatures. You could also look at them under microscopes.
We got to make our own ice cream by shaking the ingredients up in a bag, it was way yummy. There was crafting, slime making and cool physics experiments. The students did an awesome job making things fun and interesting for the kids, I was very impressed at the time and effort for a totally free event.
Robby was been watching Brave Wilderness videos lately and was pretty excited to hold a turtle, pet several different snakes and see a toe biter specimen. The even had a Great Basin rattlesnake, just to look at of course.
We also went down to Clark Planetarium this weekend to see new exhibits and catch a dome show. Robby wasn't impressed that the show was only about black holes. Maybe laser Pink Floyd will be more exciting for him next time.
