Field trip to the stars

On Monday, my children were off from school. So we took a little field trip of our own and went to the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center on the campus of UNC.
We had heard about a show that they had going on that we knew would be perfect for the kids. Evan, who is 7 years old, is really into reading the Magic Tree House books by Mary Pope Osborne. The Planetarium has a show going on for the new book "Magic Tree House Space Mission" so it mixed 2 of his passions, the Magic Tree House books and space. Simon, who is 6, is also totally into space and has the advantage of having his old brother read the books to him. The books have 2 main characters, Jack and Annie, and a tree house that magically appears and takes them to different places to find answers to questions that they have been given. I have to say that I enjoyed it almost as much as my children. They were talking about it the whole ride home. This is something that I would recommend for anyone to see.
