Saturday we took our first trip to the local planetarium. We've been a little spaced out this week (not due to the flu--just my attempt at a Bad Dad Joke. Such awful humor has always been a point of pride for Tyler--and most dads I know).
Anyway, this week we watched the space episodes of The Magic School Bus DVDs and read the space book Carden bought at the school book fair. Since Carden was home from school all week, I made him present an oral report on the solar system, based on the Magic School Bus DVD. So once we were feeling better we decided to cap off our week of all things planetary with the kids' first IMAX-style movie in the planetarium dome theater, where the picture is over your head, behind you, as well as in front and on the sides. Charlotte was plenty interested, let me tell you. So much for my delusions of her napping in a dark room. The boys also were quite taken with the show, especially with the "5-4-3-2-1-Blast Off!" sequence they got to shout nine times.
