Out and about

A very busy weekend at Raphael House we ventured over to the Chabot Science Museum. The children were able to try on space suits, look through gigantic telescopes, and learn about the make-up of each planet. On our way home young girl said "I think we should be happy to live on Earth, the other planets are either too hot or too cold."

Also, on Saturday October 18th several families headed across the Golden Gate Bridge to the Discovery Museum in Marin country for the museum harvest celebration. The museum generously provided families with amazing activities including, face painting, mask decorating, and lots of FUN games. The children came home excited and the parents exhausted! Everyone agreed that it was a great day!

Sunday October 19th was a Day on the Bay. Another generous donation to Raphael House by Pier 39. Twenty families gathered together for a wonderful cruise on the San Francisco Bay. For everyone this was their first time on a boat- so there was lots of excitement and some nervousness! Everyone loved touring under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. It was wonderful for children to get different view of their city and historic landmarks. After the boat trip we enjoyed ice cream on the pier.
