A couple weeks ago we started cleaning out Mary's house and Chuck has been going down memory lane. I have truly enjoyed hearing him "chuckle" from the other room. I've lost count of the number of times he's said "Oh wow! I remember that!", "This is still cool!"
"Hey Jesse, come check this out!" says Chuck from Mary's kitchen. Both kids go running and I make my way into the kitchen to find Chuck staring this very interesting thing on the kitchen counter. The kids were so intrigued!
Chuck loves sharing science with the kids and they eat it up. To be honest, I love it too! I have learned more about science from Chuck than I ever did in school. I know he doesn't have the patience to teach kids on a daily basis but he would have made a great science teacher!
OF COURSE, I was there with the camera to capture the moment.
Jesse was so engrossed in what he was doing. Zoey couldn't wait to get her turn!
What made this even better for me was the joy I witnessed of a father teaching his children something amazing. The kids were so excited and asked tons of questions.
I also sent these pictures to Jesse and Zoey's teachers. Do you ever do that? Let me tell you, they love it! The kids and the teachers!
Jesse's teacher brought the pictures up during the next science class and it sparked a discussion amongst the children. Jesse told us that his teacher ended up extending their conversation the next day because the kids were so excited and interested on the topic.
Jesse and Chuck are both looking forward to Jesse's Science Fair projects. I'm not sure who is going to have more fun!
