Impression 5

We took advantage of our day off to head to Impression 5 Museum for some fun with Mati. Here we are the "Bubble Room" where you can make all sorts of bubble including one around yourself.

We then went to the "First Impression Room" which is for anyone under the age of 4. Mati adored the water table, the stairs to the observation deck, and the play house.


Our final stop was in the music room where Mati played the Xylophone or Marimba (I'm not sure what it's called), the piano, a tube percussion instrument, and the bass.


Lastly, here's a video of Mati and Daddy playing the piano. The piano at Impression 5 has a plexiglass cover so the mechanics are visible and there is a sound-wave meter above it so you can see what making noise does. Mati loved striking keys to see the hammers hit the strings and the sound-meter move.

Mati & Daddy Snow Service

Doug took advantage of our recent snowfall to teach Mati about the winter tractor usage. After bundling her up Mati helped scrape the driveway. While she inititally liked the tractor ride she soon decided it was more fun to join mom in the warm house.
