STAR WARS!!!!

We took the kids into the Anchorage Museum today as they are featuring a special traveling exhibit. Can you guess? Yes, STAR WARS!!! I thought the boys were going to pass out with excitement when we finallly got there. I have to admit, museums always amazed me as a child and they still do today. It was really cool. Part of the experience was seeing true Star Wars fans seeing the exhibits. One guy dressed up like Yoda, yes he was with his kids that were also dressed as various characters. Well worth our 3 hours!


Here is Avery trying out his self-built cruiser. It runs by magnets. You have to figure out the configuration of magnets to allow it to hover, and cruise. Pretty cool. Lots of interactive exhibits that link science and science fiction.
Here the boys were able to manuver a hovercraft, much like young Aniken (I know it is spelled wrong) in his big race in the desert.

Had to have our pics with the Wookies! Star Wars is not Star Wars without Wookies! The boys all tried speaking Wookie on the way home!







Such a fun Spring Break treat!
