We recently decided to take a day trip to the Hill Air Force Museum in Ogden. We took Grandma and Grandpa too. I love finding great places to take the kids, and air museums always seem to be a hit with both the LG and BK. The best part was that it was free with donations accepted. They also had this amazing area for kids where they could put on flight/space suits and sit in cockpits, fly a simulator, take pictures in front of the moon, play games, etc. It was definitely worth the trip.
The BK probably loved this place more than the LG. He got suited up, put a helmet on and took a few too many pictures. The funny part is that the flight helmet he put on made him look like Eeyore. He's going to like me posting this picture about as much as he enjoys his fingers splitting open from the cold dry air. Love you BK ; )
This escapade also reminded me of one of our favorite new books called Big Plans, by Bob Shea & illustrated by Lane Smith. It's a gem. Too funny, and I'm not sure that the LG finds it nearly as amusing as I do.
Summary: Little boy with big plans bosses everyone around including the President until he finally makes it to the moon to announce his Big Plans in grand fashion. My favorite line is when he orders Missouri to, "Cheer up. You're bringing me down!"
If you haven't read it, read it. Then buy it. It is definitely worthy of a fine-free existence on your shelf.

That does look like fun. When I'm really ready for craziness, I'll have to check that out:) I love favorite children's books too! I'm about as illiterate at blog backgrounds as my mother, but Melissa or Melanie sure know a little something about making them cute. You'll have to give them a ring;)
So you're getting his little mind going already. He's got BIG PLANS, I just can't wait to see what the turn out to be.
