Planetarium

My friend, Joanne, invited us to go to the Planetarium with them last weekend. It was a Sesame Street show so the kids loved it. It kept them very entertained.
The show was pretty short so we had time to explore the museum afterwards. The kids enjoyed riding the horses that was attached to this computer game.


We got some pictures in front of the cow - who doesn't want their picture in front of a dead cow?! :) Joanne and I were laughing because right after this there was a display of all different types of barbed wire, then it moved on to spurs, then to a ton of different brands hanging from the ceiling. Elizabeth wanted to know what all these things were and it was like a cow torture chamber!!
Moving on...

We tried out the hula hoops,
and then tried the momentum spinner.
Elizabeth was helping Jane see herself in the giant kaleidoscope.

I never knew Joanne had such a fantastic hidden talent! ;)
The kids made all sorts of creations that they put in the wind tunnel to see if they would fly. Jane's was flying high! (I missed it in the picture)

The kids then took turns sitting in the dino footprint.


Elizabeth had to sit in the ABC chair on her way out. We all had a great time, thanks for inviting us Joanne!

You got some great pictures too! Joanne looks like a pro... but so did your pic that she took. Love the pic of E lifting Jane - hard to believe they are so big now!

Yeah don't let Laura fool you- she was just as great with the plate spinners! The show was too perfect, just the right length and right amount of info mixed with songs and nursery rhymes. Anyone with kids between 2 and 7 should take them to see it!

Also, I loved how well behaved all of the kids were and how well they got along! So much fun now that they are getting older and are able to do these fun experiments too!
