I learned alot by taking risks and getting messy, however, I was unsupervised and my play therefore more riskier. By supervising and subduing the risks with playguides this is a much safer option. <br /><br />Risky play is how I knew I loved science and physics. One time as a child I "Watered" my moms flower beds with gasoline in the middle of hot summer in FL. And guess what I learned? Fire can start with no one around lol Shhh my mom doesnt know how that fire started till this day--dont tell her! lolKasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893651618226891305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67118174844181569.post-51552119745607098282016-01-12T16:00:41.015-05:002016-01-12T16:00:41.015-05:00Hmmmm I have a feeling Cole is a lil older than 3 ...Hmmmm I have a feeling Cole is a lil older than 3 or 4...Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893651618226891305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67118174844181569.post-12710780561091166372015-09-16T13:28:25.863-04:002015-09-16T13:28:25.863-04:00Thanks – we're excited too.

Right off I was captivated by her adventurous nature. Her visionary spirit to look beyond a four wall structure and envision a haven where all are welcomed truly touched me. She even welcomed my traveling companion, a grown man, who took over the water ways area and controlled the water flow for all the boys playing that day .... Thankfully we were not shown the door. Janice, I trust our paths will meet again, but for now smooth sailing in your next quest. <br />With heartfelt respect, <br />Mary Alice Matthews<br /> <br />Mary Alice Matthewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67118174844181569.post-89303571458698470312014-11-28T20:52:50.966-05:002014-11-28T20:52:50.966-05:00I first met Janice in 1981 when I began caring for...I first met Janice in 1981 when I began caring for the museum's one large aquarium. Over the years I've watched the museum grow, move and grow some more. My ties to the museum have grown to include my Animal Experiences programs and I've seen many wonderful staff mmembers come and go over the years. But one constant has remained and I will miss seeing Janice's smile on my future visits to the museum. Good luck Janice and thank you.<br />Dave Marchettidave marchettihttp://facebook.com/bestanimalfunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67118174844181569.post-59856074487662305922014-11-13T13:59:47.322-05:002014-11-13T13:59:47.322-05:00Thanks so much, Lily - hope you're doing well!...Thanks so much, Lily - hope you're doing well!Megan Fischer, Providence Children's Museumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938152183113610008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-67118174844181569.post-69271871243545388332014-11-13T13:57:01.226-05:002014-11-13T13:57:01.226-05:00The new Waterways looks great!
