Yesterday we took our kids to the Star Wars exhibit at the Ft. Worth Science Museum. We loved it! We got to see lots and lots of things that were used in the films - costumes, puppets, props, models of spaceships, etc. There were scientific experiments that we were able to do that coresponded to the science used in the movies - we made a spaceship that we magnitized then watched as it levitated over the track, Corey & Jack made a robot like R2D2, Allie programmed a robot's face, Cooper built towers out of robot parts, and lots more. Corey and the big kids rode a little hovercraft machine, and we all saw a short film about how robots are made and what they are used for in our culture. The kids even got to meet Obi Wan - although he had a employee nametag on that said "Walter". :) We learned a lot and were very entertained. It was a great family outing.

A great reason to live in a huge city, isn't it? So much to experience and opportunities to learn. How neat that you all had such a fun family time to boot. I bet Beau would LOVE all that Star Wars stuff. Love you, Mama
I loved reading about Walter Wan Kinobi. We saw that exhibit as well, but James was more excited than anyone. Was Corey that way too?
