off-roading at the park

here's the kiddos at the park driving "the bronco".

here's the one of the same kids a few years ago.

today's park trip was supposed to be for skateboarding, but the "big people" at the park were too intimidating. so we did some experiments on what objects go down the twisty slide fastest and which fly off the farthest. after many objects many times, we came up with hypotheses about new objects and tried them out. the kids had fun and learned some new words. and in case you're wondering, the largest and most round pinecones fly the farthest off the slide.
