Veni, Vidi, DaVinci

Today Ben & I went our local Museum of Science & Industry to see the touring DaVinci exhibition. The exhibit is copyrighted, so no photos allowed, but it was a great time. I enjoyed the Mona Lisa exhibit the most, I really hope I make it to the Louvre one day to see her in person.

After 4 hours of exploring the DaVinci exhibit, we spent an hour or so taking in the rest of the museum...

Ben tried to pinch his fingers off making a "storm system" in this exhibit...

He showed some "empathy" for his old mama...

Aced some quizzes...

Showed me what he'll look like when he is in between Megan & Jordan's ages...

And what he'll look like when he's 2 years older than his oldest grandparent is now...

And how he'll look when he's Michael's age... (I'm still 19 days, 2 hours, 36 minutes away from that milestone, thankyouverymuch).

He consulted with Zoltar...

And found out he has a healthy BMI, at least by this scale...

I mean who doesn't love a scale that starts out at -3 lbs. (of course, I STILL didn't get on it!)

He tried to build an earthquake resistant building (unsuccessfully)...

And withstood Hurricane strength winds...

When we were done exploring the museum, we went to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It was cute! Especially for a middle schooler & a mom of a middle schooler.

We went to theater close to the museum, rather than our regular theater. Ya know the slide show before the previews? The fun quotes & quizzes? When we got there this slide was on the screen. Then this slide came up...

Then this one...
I think I've mentioned before how early I insist on getting to the theater.... So we got to enjoy this entertaining slideshow for half an hour. (Thank Goodness for internet on my phone).

Before we stopped at the grocery store on the way home we had one more stop to make...

Yeah!!! I can see his eyes again! :)
