The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History has a summer-long program on Star Wars. It's an "imagination meets reality" kind of thing. Taylor an I went to see it today while the girls were in Band Clinic. There were some really cool things, and some lame things. However, we got to meet up with a couple of his friends there, and look at exhibits, and make magnetic cars, R2D2 robots that had to manuver a course, make a robot walk using hand controls, ride in an air propelled semi-hovercraft, and more. The Special Effects IMAX movie was really cool, and the popcorn and diet coke hit the spot! We were there from 9:15 to 2:15. The (of course they had one) gift shop was overflowing with Star Wars stuff. We got buttons for the girls that have Darth Vader on them and say "Who's your daddy?" and Taylor got a button that says "judge me by my size do you?" with Yoda in the background. He also got a poster that has "Everything in Life I Need to Know I Learned From Star Wars". It's pretty funny. Now, exhausted, I have to figure out how to download pics to the computer so I can post them here. It was really a lot of fun...
