Science Center

Matthew's birthday happened to be Star Wars day at the Science Center so we headed there to check out the offerings. It was a popular day: we saw some friends from church and Matthew's kindergarten teacher. 

One favorite experience was seeing the Death Star explode. After they got everything set up, the employees ran away quickly. One even dropped his radio and didn't go back to get it. A kid asked, "Why are you guys running?" They replied, "Because we made a bomb!"

We received a nice welcome from Yoda.

Megan is excited for Chewbacca's award.

We enjoyed a Tour of the Empire in the planetarium.

Symbol of the Empire. Every now and then, the Rebellion symbol would flash on the screen. We really tried to get a picture of it (and have about 19 pictures of the Empire symbol to prove it) but were not successful.

Megan and Matthew enjoyed playing in the snow.

U doing his Wookie roar. Kylo Ren didn't like it and covered his ears.

Megan and Matthew with Kylo Ren. Matthew told him that he has a Kylo Ren toothbrush. Flattering, I'm sure.

We designed tracks for Ozobots to follow. It was fun although they didn't always do that was drawn. Me and Matthew.
