Aerospace Museum

Last Wednesday, we stopped at the Aerospace Museum on our way to Idaho. Once I get in the car headed somewhere, it's really hard for me to stop, but we always see the airplanes on our way to Idaho and I thought the kids would enjoy it. We took a vote and they wanted to stop. I'm so glad we did because they had a wonderful time.

They were so impressed with the large airplanes outside. Gehrig brought his notebook and colored pencils with him and stopped often to draw what he was looking at. He's a much better artist than I am (I know that's not saying much, but he's pretty good for a 7 year old). I love how Emma is looking at his artwork.
This cute man gave us a tour.
After we finished, we took off for one of the better trips to Idaho we've had. The picture below shows Isaiah singing along to the song, B-I-N-G-O! He really gets into it! I gave Gehrig and Damian each a new notebook and colored pencils which they used to "carschool"! Damian kept asking me what time it was and where the long and short hands should go. He was obviously drawing a clock. Gehrig figured out multiplication and tested himself with me. He'd say, "7 times 5 is five seven times." Then he'd count and say, "That's 35." He was so excited about it, he came up with all kinds of multiplication problems. Then he worked on this addition and subtraction with double numbers. Anyway. . .it was really fun to hear my kids learning in the backseats. Such cute kids. Of course, the trip wouldn't have been normal if Isaiah didn't scream for the last hour (falling asleep about 3 minutes before we arrived)! It can't all go so perfectly well, can it? :)
