Museum of Aviation...

This weekend we wen't to the Museum of Aviation, they had a Lego robot show, and it was indoors which is a plus because it has been so cold here for weeks with a high of 35 most days down here in the south we are not use to this type of cold!

Lights, Lights, Lights....

We went to a really cool place about 45 min. from our house; there were lights every where, you got out and walked, the kids loved it> I love this man!
