edumacation is fun

Took the kids to the MN History Center last weekend 'cuz Nate got a good deal on membership from Groupon.  It was packed with people seeing some 1960's exhibit and/or movie.  Baby boomers were everywhere.  Some of them were still wearing their clothes from '68.  We didn't bring the kids to the museum to see smelly old hippies, so we didn't stay long.  Their Minnesota's Greatest Generation exhibit was kind of cool.  Saw some WWII stuff, including some grenades in a glass case.  Adrienne wanted to know what they were.  After I explained, she said, "Ooooh, now I get the song Grenade."  You know, that Bruno Mars one where he sings about all the freaky morbid ways he'd die for his girl and can't figure out why she's creeped out.  Anyway, this is A with Zach in the Grainland play area-

Speaking of educational activities and family togetherness, I recently finished reading Horton Halfpott to the kids.  We tried to figure out what to read next and I suggested Old Yeller.  Adrienne thought that was a boring horrible idea.  She said, "What's next, are you going to read the dictionary?"  She was being more funny than snarky, so it's okay.  And it turns out Old Yeller fell apart and went missing a long time ago.  'Prolly will go with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory soon, but maybe will find something Lent-y first.
