THis summer, the children's museum in our area had a Star Wars: WHere Science Meets Imagination exhibit. If you live in our area, you are out of luck as it closed Sept 3rd. If you live in the Pacific NW, you are in luck, it starts there in October at the OSMI. It is well worth the time and money especially if you have little Padawan in your home as I do.
Here my favorite photos from our trip. Which is Grandad and which is the Wookie?
WE LOVE CLONES!!
Hopalong with R2R2 as he calls him.

Eugene H. Peterson: A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society
Life changing. A study of The Psalms of Ascent. IF there were more than 5 stars, this would get 10. (*****)
Blue Like Jazz
Excellent in the line, the male Anne Lamont. (*****)
Donna Tartt: A Secret History
Also for mature audiences but a wonderful mystery and look at human nature. (*****)
Khaled Hosseini: The Kite Runner
Another should read. I really had some preconceived ideas about immigrants and Middle Eastern people that have been changed. (*****)
Jennifer Weiner : Good in Bed
Mature audiences only but a good story. (****)
Larry Watson: Montana 1948
(****)
Cornelia Funke: Inkheart
(****)
Michael Crichton: Airframe
Have you ever gotten half way through a book and realized you'd read it before?
Jhumpa Lahiri: The Namesake
Loved this and am not sure why. It is a universal story about discontent and finding contentment. Descriptions are brilliant. I could smell the curry. (*****)
We got to go to this too! I especially liked all the videos where the special effects guys were telling how they figured out what to do for the different effects-- for instance, the sound guy recorded cars going by on a freeway at 3 am and then played it backward for one of the spaceship sounds.
My kids' favorite parts were manipulating the robots and building mini "pod-racers."

Oh my goodness. My daughter would positively love something like this. I think I'll just not tell her - as I live nowhere near the Pacific NW!!! Glad you had fun.
