10 Questions About…

Not to be braggy but we got super special member-only tickets into the sneak preview of the latest exhibit at the Science Gallery: Bubble, Don’t Burst It.

So we headed into town in the afternoon. I had heard about some cool sand sculptures at the Dublin Castle so we started here. And they were cool. What I find amazing is how well they seemed to weather the weather.

Then we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant. I actually thought it was Chinese and I had heard that it was a good place for kids. Luckily our kids are pretty adventurous and everyone enjoyed it.

Finally it was time for the bubble show, which was great. Talking with one of the organizers, she said that this is the first time that they have really focused on an exhibit for kids. I didn’t have the heart o say that we always bring the kids – but once in I could see what she meant. The staff (who are students from Trinity) seemed pretty prepared for kid questions and kid activities.

We learned that you can predict when a bubble is going to burst by noticing when it starts to lose its color near the top. We learned that a laser can’t go through a bubble. (I don’t really remember that but Lily says it’s true.) The kids made some bubble art. They were incased in bubbles.

We enjoyed it so much we brought Ailbhe and Cait back the next day. Well we liked it so much and it was raining too hard to go swimming at Sea Point.
