La Duni and The Perot

This morning we had brunch at La Duni in Dallas. The food was wonderful, and it's always fun to try a place we've never been! After filling our tummies, we headed over to The Perot Museum, because Clay had some important business to conduct (and because we really love science museums). One of Clay's scouting requirements was to write down two questions about space to ask an expert, and then track down an expert at a museum or planetarium and ask the questions. Clay wanted to know, "Why does the moon appear smooth when you look at it, but if you go to it, it appears rough?" and "Why do the planets appear to be brighter than the stars?" He found his expert in the Expanding Universe Hall and did a great job of asking his questions and gathering the information! Once the business was taken care of, we were free to explore and enjoy the rest of the museum, and we had a great time.

Max has already been eight for six months, and I can hardly believe it! He spent most of his day at robot camp, which was just about as good as it could get for him. When we picked him up, we took him over to McDonald's, a place we rarely patronize, so he was ecstatic! Later, we presented him with a couple of gifts that made his little engineering heart flutter: a box of Kinex building toys and a Perplexis puzzle ball, which he has been eying for a long time. We are proud of this guy and can't believe how quickly he is growing up!
