We were going to stay home today...and then last night Hayden asked, "Mommy, you know that museum down the street with the planes out front?" I said yes and he said, "May we please go there and look for space rockets?" We decided to go ahead and check it out. We drive by it every day and always say, we should check that out, but just haven't got around to it. I am so glad we went! Hayden had a blast in the Space building and was very interested in how the rockets work, what the planets are called, and he got so excited when he realized that astronauts take M&Ms into space. We have decided to do his birthday party with a space theme since he is so interested as of late. After the space area, we went to the three other hangers and saw lots of really cool airplanes and met a couple of awesome old men who told us all about the planes. Hayden had a great time walking underneath the planes and was excited he was allowed to touch them. After we looked around for about 2 1/2 hours, we decided it was nap and lunch time, so we went to the gift shop on the way out and hayden chose two cool die-cast planes to take home. He was so exhausted that he passed out before we got out of the parking lot! I would say it was a successful trip and Matt and I had fun learning about all of it as well. I am posting pics of the museum and also a couple of him and his friend Amelia from yesterday (I'm not posting any of her face since I didn't get a chance to ask if it was ok but you get the idea of the fun they had even with the back of her head.)
