{I still believe in Pluto as a planet}

Yesterday River and I chaperoned Jax's class field trip to Clark Planetarium at the Gateway.

Riding light rail downtown was part of the loud, excited, (kind of stinky) experience.

Jax is the oldest and tallest in his class, which makes him the "king shit" most of the time.

All of the children are so well behaved and know the importance of the buddy system.

It is the most adorable sight to watch these babes walk hand in hand down the streets.

Jax played meteorologist and informed us that a spectacular storm front was coming in and would be raining meatballs and cupcakes :)

We watched a very educational yet entertaining movie that was narrated by Tom crazy couch jumper Cruise.

We learned so much about the International Space Station, and all of the effort and workings behind it.

Beyond words........Amazing!!!!

GO SEE IT!!!!

The 3D effects were crazy fun with all kinds of galactic things flying toward my nose.

They could have left out the hairy legged astronaut wearing short shorts with a 3D view up into his jewels!!

You could hear the audience going, "ewe!!!!  groce!!!!!" as we were backing our heads away.

Not a good crotch shot for any age.

I love these moments with my boys and their peers.  I love these moments of being their mommy and having the opportunity to watch their brilliant minds absorb :)

And......who wouldn't love these moments of memorializing yourself in 3D goggles with a crusty red goyder on your chin?????
