Denise and I took the kids to the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake on Monday. Everyone seemed to have a good time. We went to the IMax Theater to see "Mummies". At first, all three of the kids (as well as the adults) were excited to see this little flick, but for the two boys that excitement fled soon after the initial amazement at the huge screen before them. Their excitement was mirrored in the many small faces of summer-camp/daycare groups there. Eventually, however, the excitement wore off completely. Hunter was curled up in his chair trying to get comfortable before turning to me to say, "How long until this is over," or "Do you like this better or Goonies." Well, of course I love Goonies more my little friend -but there is room for a little edu-tainment as Denise calls it in my life as well. Needless to say, by the time the movie was over everyone in the theater under four feet was more than a little happy to leave. After checking out all of the cool stuff they have going on up there, and taking pictures of us on Mars and the Moon we came home. Hunter fell asleep in the car- again. He is very much like his mother in that respect. We never seemed to go anywhere in the car without Kim falling asleep.
My mom used to say that while most of the other moms were happy when summer came to a close and their children would be back in shool, it was a sad time for her. She loved having us there. I don't have my own kidletts, so I borrow various munchkins from family and friends- but I have to say... I LOVE it when the kids are out of school for the summer!! I am actually not sure who is more excited them or me. We always have plans for months in advance about the fun things we are going to do, and I find that I am sad when they have to go back to school and real life begins for the adults.
