Susan came home from preschool the other day bubbling over about the magical magnet at school, the one that moved ALL BY ITSELF on the top of the table. I asked gently if her teacher had been moving a magnet underneath the table as well. She thought for a second, thinking back, and then her eyes lit up: “You’re right Mom! How did you know?”
What can I say? Moms know everything. Which is why we take our kids to Thanksgiving Point a lot, because not only will my kids have fun and learn something, but I won’t be annoyed, as I am by some specialty childrens museums. Although to be honest, I don’t know if a family pass is going to be in the budget next year, which is why we’re going a lot in the coming months.
This Saturday (September 26th) PBS’s Design Squad is filming at Thanksgiving Point and I’m thinking of sending Tom and the kids (I will be going to the first-ever Sew Day with my mom and sisters). The filming is free and open to the public at 11:30 am. The Museum of Ancient Life also has a new Magnets, Motors, and Mind exhibit which I think Susan would really like.
And since I knew their PR rep in college (just kidding, she totally still doesn’t remember me, but I’m lucky enough to be on her list), I have a family four-pack of tickets to the museum to give away. Today I’d like to reward a faithful commenter (okay, and save myself the trouble of forgetting to pick a winner and so forth), so I took the top five commenters for this month (see widget in the sidebar) and ran a random number generator:
Congrats, Sharla! You’re going to Disneyland The Museum of Ancient Life!
