We had an exhausting day spending hours in the Star Wars exhibit alone. It was great to see the costumes, light sabers (handles) and ships for the movies. Some made us laugh with the pieces they used to construct them and others were just jaw dropping. I know for myself I was very tickled to see R2D2 and C3PO, made my heart jump and a smile came on my face.We played with anything and everything we could, creating hovercrafts (using magnets) and riding on a hovercraft as well (that used an air cushion). We played a neat 3-D interactive game, building a colony only to find we had more war break out than we did live in peace. Jo even tried to make robot legs walk which was very difficult to do, they had robotics stations amid the Star Wars ones.
The Star Wars day was ended by a ride in the Millennium Falcon! It was not really a ride but it was a replica of the cockpit so there were only the four seats and a bunch of buttons and switches. It even had the microphone which Cole leaned over too and talked to the X-Wing Fighters that we were following. There was a movie screen surrounding the ship and we shook a little as we jumped to light speed. The kids both think we really went into space and saw all those planets and asteroids. Way fun! Oma and I missed most of the “movie” because we were watching the kids and their reactions. Oh, and Mom played with as many switches as I could the short five minute ride we had.If you want to see all our Star Wars photos click here or click the link in the right hand column.
Jill took the kids to some friends Sunday Night and they all carved pumpkins. They had a wonderful time doing this together. The kid’s pumpkins are very small but they had a very good time and hope to do this activity in the future. That is pumpkin a carving party.
