Mars, Caden, Cheetos, and Pigeons

The other day we went over to the Dallas Museum of Nature & Science and Children's Museum so that Gavin and Reese could go see the new IMAX Roving Mars. Gavin has always been crazy about space and loves his Mars Mission Lego Sets so we knew this would be a hit with him. And we were right, he was outta this world! It set the tone for our WALL-E movie weekend!

While Gavin and Reese were at the IMAX, Caden and I spent a little time together. We went to the little cafe max inside and got something to eat. I got a tuna salad sandwich and Caden settled with Cheetos. We took our lunch outside and Caden instantly took to feeding the pigeons.

We learned that Pigeons will eat anything and they will fight to the death for a cheeto! You should try this theory out sometime. It was quite entertaining.

We spent a good half hour outside and then came inside to wait for the others to let out of the IMAX. Caden spent that time at the ball pendulum. We spent almost another half hour there! The kid could spend HOURS with anything that involves BALLS!

I was able to get him to play around in the different learning areas just before the show.

If Caden isn't playing with Balls, it most certainly has something to do with CARS. Or anything with wheels for that matter!

And look at this, I managed to get a picture of Gavin doing a large tinker toy creation!

We had a good time! Our annual pass to the Museum (which is reciprocal to over 100 others around the country) is one of our best summer time investments. We go at least several times a month and are invited to member only specials all the time. This weekend is a FREE movie screening of the new Disney/Pixar movie WALL-E for members only, for example.
