Museum of Flight

One of the boys’ favorite places to go is the Museum of Flight at Boeing. We have been there A LOT! (Mostly with Daddy)  Owen has been wanting to take Grady to the museum since day one.  He has also talked for weeks about taking Murphy, his Preschool “pet” that the students get to take home every few months.  Today we had both Grady and Murphy, so it was a perfect time to go… 

Grady thought the helicopter seats were fairly uncomfortable, and too slippy.

Owen taught Grady about the controls on this plane, but thought Grady should be able to sit up by himself before he should fly solo.

Owen’s Favorites:

The “car plane”

The Blackbird

(Owen often tells strangers-in the checkout lane, or wherever, about a museum he goes to with a flying car and a blackbird.  From the looks he gets, I am pretty sure few of his listeners think there are museums with flying cars and birds in them…)

Oh, and Grady was asleep when we saw Owen’s two favorite planes, so we have to go back.

I  love, LOVE these machines that cost two quarters and a penny.  The machine keeps your quarters, but smashes your penny, makes a new  imprint on it, and gives it back.  It is the cheapest souvenir you can buy and the boys are thrilled to get them. (and they all fit neatly in a little book that Lisa bought for the boys – so I am not forced to throw  the souvenir away when my boys aren’t looking…)
