Kinetic Sculpture


Calvin and I went to the Farmer's Market at Thanksgiving Point a week ago. They had an art exhibit that included this cool kinetic sculpture. It had big buckets of water that was piped and moved around. There were various switches and levers that could be pulled to affect the sculpture. Sometimes it made noise and sometimes it shot or dumped water. It was a lot of fun. I couldn't get Calvin away from it. He was in little guy heaven!

How to get a kid to eat his vegetables


It turns out that all you have to do to get some kids to eat their vegetables is to grow them yourself. If we pull it out of the garden Calvin will pretty much eat it. He is eating raw Zucchini here. He eats carrots, squash, tomatoes, cucumber, strawberries, peas, lettuce and peppers so well when he helps pull them from the garden. Yay!
