Planetarium

 Since I failed to allow the kids create an art project in preschool this week, the girls insisted on creating some space themed paintings.  They both finger painted a sun with some added gold glitter for effect.  They were intent on making them look like bombs because our books said the sun is exploding.

 Red Fish then painted a series of planets.  She is very intrigued by the thought of planets right now. I realized this week that we have never really talked about space at home so we've been reading about it all week.  We also visited the planetarium with the Buddies.  I was shocked to find out that it is free.  I soon realized it is free because the exhibits are not very impressive.  The girls loved it though so that is what matters.  We even sampled some astronaut ice cream and strawberries and then watched a movie about polar bears in the Imax theatre.
