A day at the Air and Space Museum

By Amity -
Aunt Rae is visiting us this weekend and we decided to go to the Air and Space Museum today. It was a whole lot of fun for everyone. We started with a "flight simulator" which I had to do with Mac. It went a full 360 degrees, boy it was very unsettling to the stomach and I love roller coasters. Mac of course thought it was the best thing ever, also since we got to shoot down bad guys in addition to twirling all around. Then off to see some of the exhibits, all kinds of fun activities and a variety of chances to simulate flying a plane, like a video game. They also had a "bed of nails" which I tried, Mac initially wanted to do it, but then freaked out so I decided to be the brave one, boy it did hurt a tad bit, I'm glad Mac didn't do it!

There were costumes to try on, and IMAX that Mac loved and Emily thought was pretty freaky, topped off by dinner on the way home at Jungle Jim's! Mac picked a soccer ball whistle toy that both he and Rae got a kick out of!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
