"Talk to Me, Goose"

August 28, 2010
We decided that rather than spend Saturday like last week, attempting to not kill each other, we would do something fun. It was between going to see airplanes or big trucks. The airplanes won and we headed up to the Hill Air Force Base Museum. Pearl zipped through both hangers of airplanes while I was shouting at her to wait for us and not touch anything. Apparently WWI and WWII era planes are for display only. I thought our fun adventure might not last very long with a bored toddler until we discovered the educational center where everything was hands-on and climbable. Pearl had a blast! So did Cole. No, really. I think he might have had more fun than the rest of us. He looked around at everything while I carried him in the pack and was happy as could be. Pearl suited up as "Buzz Light Year the Astronaut" and enjoyed every second playing in the flight simulators. I didn't notice until we got home what her helmet said... Top Gun. Seriously, how could I have missed that with a bunch of airplanes around! It's too bad she will probably never know this classic, that, or laugh at her old-fart parents for thinking it's such a cool movie by the time she's old enough to see it.
