Fun At The Planetarium

We flew back from CA early on Saturday morning. Michael picked us up and we went straight to the planetarium. The kids look a little ragged from their early start, but Evan asked to go for several months before we could make it there.
The kids liked watching the pendulum knock done the tiny metal sticks as it swung back and forth and back and forth.
Evan tries out some cool demonstrations. He really liked all of the cool stuff they had there.
Dad helps Jonathan with a telescope.

The kids with their Dad on the planet Mars. Jonathan likes to share the cheese.
These are my five greatest treasures. I am so very blessed. We have our moments but we are family and we love each other.
About this time the early morning flight was starting to catch up with them.
Lindsay is walking on the moon.

The kids traveled from Mars to the moon in just a matter of seconds. Space travel has really improved.
Evan and Jonathan loved this thing. They watched the balls drop over and over again. We had a hard time getting them to look at anything else in the museum.

What brave and intrepid space travelers! I'm with Jonathan and Evan. I could stare at the pendulum and the ball contraption all day long.

Wow - when I return from a trip I find the nearest bed!! You are good and you updated your blog - twice!! It appears that you were enjoying the warmth of CA while I was freezing here in PA!! Your kids are so cute and I can't believe how big your family is. We sure do all have our moments - but family is family!! Hey I have a friend that has been telling me to email you for a while. She is interested in doing what you do. If you could email some info - like what school you went to, what co you work for - and if you like it :) I tried to email you but it appears yours is different now. Thanks..

How fun! We went there when my oldest had to do a school report on Mars. We loved it.

Oh, and we love your family, too. So fun to have them all in Primary now!

Oh, I just wanted to say that I'm still doing "She Shops Smart" -- though I keep threatening to stop because I'm so lazy and I can't find any more room to store my stuff! Thanks for the class.
