Science Fair

We took Emma to the Science Fair in Balboa Park last Saturday. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people. There was so much to see and do. Lots of hands on and demonstrations. Robots, scientists, and families galore! Emma even got a little robot to take home, it's in her hand in the above picture. We also got a coloring book about a robot they use to help in surgery right here in San Diego. There was also a lot about "going green" and insects.
Of course at some point we have to end up at the big water fountain and pray Emma doesn't fall in!
Daddy and Emma both thought this military vehicle was really cool. It is a giant x-ray machine on wheels. It checks for explosives and weapons in other cars or in the ground. Emma felt pretty special when she got a chance to sit in it.

On the way out the Scott's were getting bagpipes warmed up as it was also Tartan Day! So of course we had to stay just a bit longer.
I was really taken back and caught completely off guard when the 6 pipers stated playing Amazing Grace. I was piped down the isle to that song and it all caught up with me with big swells of tears, and Donald too. A very magical moment and a wonderful way to spend in the park with Emma.
