Pima Air and Space Museum




In August we went to the Pima Air and Space Museum. The kids had an absolute blast! They were running everywhere yelling "Airplane!" Airplanes are their favorite things in the world at the moment and they can't get enough of them.



You might notice Logan and Chase got their hair buzzed. We were tired of the emotional trauma (or drama, whichever you prefer) Logan had whenever we cut his hair so we just buzzed it. After we were done, Logan looked in the mirror and started crying saying "I want my hair back!" I told him he could grow more hair and he seemed satisfied with that.

The Pima Air and Space Museum is the second largest air museum in the country. (The largest is in Dayton, Ohio and the third largest is at Hill AFB.)





















They had a lot of displays that the kids could climb and play on, which is a relief for us!








There is even a control tower, where the kids can talk to an play airplane close by.







Reagan and her private drama.




















This is an old Air Force One used by JFK. Don't they look presidential?



I thought this was funny. Notice the dates it was in service. 1945-2005. Incredible.














The Space Museum portion was dedicated to the space shuttle Challenger and had hands-on learning for the kids.

Boy you guys do a lot of stuff! How fun for the kids! Just think of all the memories you're creating for them.

I'm so glad you have a blog page. It's a great way to see the kids (and you and Blake!) even when you're far away.
