Museum of Flight at Night

The kids and I went down to first Thursday at the Museum of Fight last night and had a great time. Q has been wanting to go back ever since he and Papa went early in the summer and this was a great chance to appease him since Papa was off on a rare night out. So they ran all around the place,

 

and had generally a great time in the space. They both liked getting in the cockpits of the display planes, and pushing buttons etc.

 They also had a great time in the kids flight zone playing around with the planes and the fun exhibit including the hang gliding simulator. Then we had our dinner at the cafe and still had time to explore (the museum is open late on first Thursdays). So, Q showed me where the WW1 and WW2 planes were,

 

They played another flight simulator game, and H showed she's not quite ready for flight school:

 Before we left we stopped at the theater to watch an educational movie on the life of an amazing woman named Vi Cowden. I wasn't surprised H was not so interested, but Q certainly was (later asking thoughtful questions etc.). Then with a quick stop at the store to buy an obligatory small toy plane, we were off heading to home for a convenient putting at least one kid right to sleep drive home, so Mama's job was easier. It was a fun night out for all of us!
