Kaia has become very interested in the Earth lately, ever since watching "Planet Earth" with her Grandpa Hedman, and after she grilled me for over an hour about how the Earth rotates and space, I decided to take her to the Clark Planetarium. We, of course, picked to go the same day as a couple of the local schools so it was
crowded but we still had fun! The girls got to pose for pictures on a landscape of the moon and one of Mars, and in front of a spacesuit. They got to rotate a little moon to show the different stages and see models of rockets and the planets. We got to see lots of pictures from the Hubel Telescope, see how much we'd weigh on other planets, and learn about why we have different seasons. We also got to see Under the Sea in 3D at their IMAX theater, which was very cool. After seeing all the exhibits we had a hour before the movie so we headed outside to the Gateway Mall to get some lunch, and not even 1 minute after we step outside it started
snowing on us! We had to rush over to the "mall", which for those of you who don't know it's an outside mall where all the store entrances are on the street, and try to find the food court. By the time we got there we were all very cold and wet! We had a great time and got to see some really cool stuff!

You are an amazing mom! I think it is wonderful that you decided on a whim to take the kids to the planetarium. Did Connor go too? I am happy you found your way back home! Tell Kaia that Grandpa and Grandma can't wait for her to come back and watch more movies about our planet earth....Thanks to Aunt Jessica for getting those for Grandpa! :)
We love you!
Mom & Dad
Yea Connor was there too, but there were so many kids there I was afraid to let him out of the stroller. The whole way through the movie he kept grabbing the kid, who was maybe 9, that was on the other side of him. That poor kid was very uncomfortable!
