More Spring Break Fun: McKinley Museum!

For Day two of Operation Wear out the Kids we visited the McKinley Museum.  It was packed because of spring break and while we met friends there, we also ran into two of Carter's school friends and one of Ava's school friends. 
 
We have been to this museum many, many times and I probably wouldn't have blogged about it but two milestones happened!
 
 
Ava got to see her first planetarium show!

 
She will be five in less than two weeks, so I figured she was close enough to the cut off.  It was the best show, they focused more on scientists than on finding stars in the sky.  But she said she liked it, probably because she was a "big kid" and could go to the show!

 
Dawson hung out with friends while I took the older two to the planetarium.  Here he is being a puppy!

 
But the other big milestone:  Carter slid down the firemen's pole!  I have tried it and it is a little intimidating for an adult.  Peer pressure can work in magical ways, and he saw his friends doing it and decided he could do it too!

 
The Absolute best exercise:  The kids walk up the steps, slid down the edge, walk up the steps, slide down the edge.  It worked like a charm because it is 7:20 and everyone is still sleeping!
