ALL DAY SORENNA DAY part 1

This was all-day Sorenna day. We have a family rule that after the 5th Birthday party....no more for a while. We instead go do an adventure of the birthday girl's choice. Sorenna was very excited and picked something she had already done during a field trip, but wanted to share with her sisters. I decided that an unselfish choice like that deserved a second adventure as well. We went to the Bishop Museum all morning for the Cartoon Network event. This thing was a blast. I was worried it would be crowded, but is was not at all. I was thinking we would have fun for a couple hours. I was wrong. The girls played in the exhibit from 9:30am- 2:30pm when I was forced to drag them out! There were some really cool machines. One was a freeze-frame booth. The girls were given a countdown then they were to pose for 14 frames...then it was made into a mini cartoon clip. That was a blast, but the one that really got them excited was the pivot booth. The girls again were given a countdown for one instant photo. At that time several cameras took thier photo at the same time from different angles. The effect was fun. It looked like they were spinning in one place (like the power puff girls). They got a little crazy with that one and tried to be airborne for the moment of the photo. It was a challenge to get them all in the air, but they got it. I took a photo during the video replay. It is at the bottom. Cannon is in the air in a hop position. Thorin is up high and sorenna is arching her body. It was cool when it pivoted.
The other things included making their own cartoon with shapes and taking photos with the shapes in different positions. The other one was a foley booth. They recorded sounds to a clip that was made. The tools for the sounds were in a row and the kids had to do it at the correct time. It was really fun.
There was an electric toothbrush for the fly buzzing around. Too simple! We of course had to stop for some lunch and a shaved ice! The girls got to try on a head dress too.
Fun first half of the day.

This was so cool!

They were all off the ground!
