Social Science and a Retirement Party

So my love of the The Discovery is splashed all over this blog, I know, it's ridiculous, but I've got another awesome event to share with you! It's called Social Science, adult only nights at The Discovery where you can drink and play with stuff in the museum, sounds like fun, right?? We went to the one in June and apparently talked it up so much that Chris' cousin, Steffen, came up from Vegas just to partake in the festivities! Here's some pics from the awesome night.

This was before Social Science...if you are a male and receive XMas gifts from my mother-in-law, than someone you're friends with or are related to is going to have the same shirt:)

Food truck time before going in

Fancy drinkin cups!

Made some rockets and shot them across the museum! Chris felt like being inappropriate...

And wanted to shock people, literally, in the Spark Lab

One last flight before we left

 I tried to upload a video of Chris and Steffen on the plasma cars, but no go, and unfortunately I did not take any photos, but suffice it to say that two grown men on tiny plasma cars with kiddy helmets on is pretty effing funny.

Now on to the retirement party! Debbie officially and completely retired last week and so a bunch of us went to Flowing Tide to celebrate! There was a lot of alcohol consumed, which accounts for some for some of the photos...

You can't unsee that

Yay! Congrats Debbie!!!

So we've been quite busy (ha, I accidentally typed 'busty' at first) since my last post and I've got the pics to prove it.

We celebrated Mindi's birthday at our house with a BBQ and wonderfully purple cake. 

I did not have birthday candles, so I figured the ball candle would do cause the cake had a hole in the middle:)

Cameron helping out. As you can see, the candle sunk into the hole in the cake, and we had a wonderful purple volcano!

And the Simpsons joined in too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we've spent some time with the Moodys, of course. 

She'd probably kill me if she knew she was on the blog, but I couldn't help it, she was so cute and excited about her garden and the fact that it was actually yielding stuff!

Last Friday Caitlin and Aidan spent the night and we took them to a movie at the park near our house. Despite the soaking grass, the kids loved it and when we got home they weren't tired, so we played Spongebob Life:) The next day we went to the Discovery and enjoyed the bubbles!

And before we went to the museum, Caitlin made beautiful art on the chalkboard in the backyard.

Tubin down the Truckee, with some attitude, apparently

Yee haw!

Aaaaaaannnnndddd, we saw A Midsummer's Night Dream at Sand Harbor last night with Drew and Darren! This was the best play that we've seen there, it was ridiculously funny I could hardly breathe from laughing! If you live in the area, go see it, you won't regret it!

Drew and Darren enjoying wine and waiting for the show to start

Oh yah, and amongst all of the summertime happennings, I got a job! Yaaaaay!!! I just started working at the Discovery last week and couldn't be more thrilled! It's an awesome place to work:)
