Rutgers Day

Rutgers Day is coming up soon.  This year it falls on April 27th, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Here is a website with all the upcoming demonstrations: http://rutgersday.rutgers.edu/  I strongly recommend you go over exactly what you would like to see!  There is just so much, it can be overwhelming.

We picked Cook/Douglas campus last year because we wanted to see all the cool farming stuff. The kids loved the farm. Especially the piglets and the cows. There was a lot of "I want a pet piggy" whining after that. It is true, the pigs were adorable, but I am afraid that my dog would mind sharing our bed with a pig.

It was a beautiful day to be there! Hopefully this year will be also.  I am shooting for the Busch Campus this year to see all the science stuff!

NJ State Theater in New Brunswick, NJ

Every so once in a while we go to NJ State Theater to see a few on schooltime performances.  We homeschool, so it is easy enough for us to purchase the tickets for schooltime performances anytime there is something good playing.  It is most certainly worth the effort.
Last year we saw Blast!, "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble", "MOMIX remix" and the Shanghai Acrobats. 

With Blast! my youngest was only able to sit through the first half. We read "Sylvester" so much, that it was very interesting to see it come to life.  The Shanghai Acrobats was an amazing show. Both kids loved it. They sat with their mouths gaping open. We also had great seats, right in the second row in the front. MOMIX Remix was a really nice show. Well done. You can tell that the dancers put their heart in it. The kids enjoyed it thoroughly.
After one of shows we went to this place: http://www.stuffyerface.com/ It was something we have wanted to try ever since watching the Man vs. Food show with the kids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6otbUX6Or4 It was yummy.

New Brunswick has a lot to do, so be sure to check out other attractions and making a day out of it.
