Museum of Science and Industry

We had a fun Friday at the Museum of Science and Industry with Bo bo and Nine.  Unfortunately, Max was sick with the cold I am still fighting so Grant ended up staying home with him.  He seems pretty good today though so at least he didn't have the cold for long.

 There was a Disney theme this year because they have a special Disney exhibit there.

 This is Canada's tree, we liked it because it had a lot of hockey ornaments

 Matthew in front of the Norway tree

 USA tree

 Molly in front of Poland's which of course has to look the tackiest.  

 This is Belgium's, we have no heritage tied to this one but we liked it because it had waffles hanging as ornaments.

 The kids loved the Genetics area mainly because of these cute little chicks.

 We actually went back and saw two chick hatch.  We probably stood there at least 20 minutes watching the process.  It was pretty cool.

 Matthew and Bo bo in front of the U 505 submarine.  Molly was obsessed with the sub and found it all so interesting.

 Matthew made a top type toy that looked like the ones above him.  It was a pretty neat exhibit

 This was one of the reasons we went here to see this exhibit.  We learned so much about Disney and here we thought we already knew a lot, being the Disney fanatics that we are.

 This was cool it is the book you see that they open at the beginning of the movie.

 Annette's Mousketeer outfit

 Mary Poppins

 Star Tours example ride

 I included these because this is some things from my favorite ride, The Haunted Mansion

 An in process Lego Cinderella's Castle, its already used 28,000 Legos

 Captain Jack's costume

 The Santa Clause's costume, we have seen these 3 movies a lot lately.

 Of course there was a Frozen area

 We took a Disney Animation Academy Drawing class, they gave step by step instructions.  Hopefully you can figure out what who we were trying to draw.  Max guess immediately which I think made us very happy.

Happy New Year!

We had a great time at Moretti's this year again.  The kids have so much fun because they get to have noise makers and throw confetti everywhere.  Matthew did the Cha Cha Slide and Max loved dumping confetti on himself.  It was a little rough since I have a horrible cold so we did New York's New Years celebrations and ended a little early for the evening.  We had already celebrated at 9 at Moretti's though too.  Maybe next year our two nephews/cousins will join us at Moretti's, two little boys would love throwing confetti around too.  

 Nine and Molly

 He was waiting for his ice cream.  They bring the toppings in bowls and all the bowls were right in front of Bo bo.  He was giving death stares to Bo bo and kept yelling at him about his bowl.  It was pretty funny, he thought Bo bo was hogging all the bowls for himself.

Nine and Matthew

 Almost time for the balloon/confetti/candy drop.

 Here it comes

 I think we then spent at least 30 minutes playing with the confetti from the floor.  They even passed out cups of confetti before the balloon drop.

 Max had the most fun dropping it on himself.

 Everybody got Max

 then Matthew

 and finally Molly girl
