Weekend Wanderings: Oregon State University Wave Lab

Hope your weekend was fantastic. We wandered the valley and for once we didn't battle the wet, at least not in the form of rain. We headed to Oregon State University (Way to go Beavers! :-) to see the Hinsdale Wave Laboratory.

 They ran a variety of waves through the flume.

 We were impressed.

 We were also reminded that there is a 1 in 10 chance of a major tsunami off the Oregon coast within the next 50 years.

 

Fascinating people and information. I'm hoping we will be able to go back with a school tour in the future and learn even more.

This afternoon we headed to a local arts studio to make clay Thanksgiving turkeys. We will go back this week and glaze them. I highly recommend making a clay gobbler, before you eat one!

We'll be making this turkey next week in Sunday School. We made these at home last year and we had so much fun, it's worth repeating. Our Sunday School turkey will come with a twist: we will have a baby food eating contest first in order to receive the jar for their turkey body. This should be interesting.

We ended our weekend with an angel audition for a forthcoming Christmas play. The advent season is fast approaching; may we embrace Him as we learn to sing.
