Space Oddity


I may have hit all of Chicago's museums now, as I made my first visit to the Adler Planetarium to check out the recently opened Planet Explorers exhibit, which is 100% for kids. I docked a space shuttle to the space station, wore an astronaut jacket and pack, walked in space, and played with a bunch of other space themed contraptions. I also saw One World, One Sky - Big Bird's Adventure in the Definiti Space Theater, a kind of small OmniMax theater. The film stared Big Bird, Elmo, and Elmo's equally annoying Chinese counterpart, who helped Elmo- and the always dumbfounded Big Bird- understand that the stars in the sky are the same all over the world.

Chocolate Bunnies & Eggs


The Easter Bunny stopped by Dad's last weekend and left me a basket of goodies, but not before he drank some milk from my Easter cup and ate some of the eggs Gigi and I colored. The Bunny must be hanging with Santa because I got a couple toys as well. Those kept me entertained before we headed to Gigi & Papa's to vist with the family. I found the most eggs during this year's Easter egg hunt and probably ate the most chocolate too.
