A Galaxy Not So Far Away

Like all smart pre-schoolers, Ava has discovered the joy of Star Wars.  As part of her indoctrination, she has had the opportunity to see some of the Star Wars characters - including her favorite R2-D2 - up close and personal.

Our first trip was to Legoland with its awesome Star Wars exhibit featuring life size characters and recreations of scenes from the Star Wars trilogy sextology.

Closer to home, we got to see the real R2-D2 and C-3PO as well as vehicles, costumes, and props at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana.  This is an exhibit that even non-Star Wars fans will enjoy.

Of course the museum has more to offer than just Star Wars, and we learned about math and science at the museum's new grocery store,  speed pitch, and Dora and Diego exhibits.

4 1/2!

Ava belatedly wishes everyone a Happy Valentine's Day and hopes St. Valentine brought you love and happiness. 

Ava celebrated Valentine's Day by decorating goodie bags with her friends, eating cupcakes, and exchanging Valentine's with them.

Valentine's Day is also Ava's half-birthday and we celebrated together with some new books and small toys.
