Star Wars Exhibit

Yesterday we checked out the Star Wars exhibit at the Houston Health Museum.  Alyssa and Jackson were downright giddy when we went into the exhibit hall.  For the first 20 minutes, they walked from exhibit to exhibit, pointing out each item. "Look, it's a storm trooper.  Look, it's R2D2.  Oooo, look, it's a battle droid." (and so on)  

Jackson was pointing out the Princess Leia outfit to Alyssa.

We even got to sit in a mock up of the Millennium Falcon (which I'm not sure was worth the 30 minute wait), play with robots (that looked like R2D2) and make a land speeder out of legos and magnets (which hovered just like in the movie).

Jackson loves these destroyer battle droids.

It was really great to see the kids so excited.  But as Darren and I learned taking the kids to the Natural Science museum, they lose interest long before we do...even with it being Star Wars (their current favorite).

This was really neat. 
You moved the pieces around on table,
and you created Star Wars (this was Tatoonie) on the screen.
