Pirates and Planets

This weekend, we visited the Schiele Natural History Museum in Gastonia with the Weltz Family. Not only did we get to enjoy a special pirate exhibit, but the planetarium as well!

The boys loved dressing up like Pirates...


and Gill and I had a fun reenacting as well!


The big guys loved steering the Pirate Ship with Daddy


and racing to hoist the Jolly Roger with Preston.


After Pirates, we visited the Planetarium. It was the first time the kids had such an "out of this world" experience. Patrick and Finnegan loved the special time with Daddy, but Sullivan made it known very early into the show that he was NOT interested, so he and I waited in the lobby while everyone explored the galaxies.


Then we headed outside to the Nature Trails


and enjoyed a picnic lunch.



Who knew Pirates and Planets could be such a winning combination?
