We have been planning on going to the Omni with Wyatt for a long time and finally this past Monday we actually went!!
I thought I’d do a picture report of our day so all the people who couldn’t come could see!!
We started out and the first think Wyatt saw was a big ol’ Dinosaur!!!!!! Of course he thought that was really “Cool”.
Next we bought our tickets and stood in line very patiently to see the first showing of Dolphins. Wyatt loved being loose and stayed with us the entire time.
This is the best picture I could get without a tripod in the dark. Cameras weren’t really allowed in the theater. For those of you who have never been to the Omni it is a dome Imax that makes you feel like you are moving while you watch the film. It’s really neat!
Best shot of the lower level and a tiny fraction of the screen.
Wyatt had his first drink from a water fountain after the movie and he thought it was “Cool” too.
I had to get a shot of the purple walls as we left the theater because they remind me of my Granddaddy. He always took me to the Omni when I was little and I always got so excited when I saw those purple walls!
The Star Wars Exhibit is a traveling exhibit, which is about to leave our town so we were lucky to get to see it!! It had a lot of neat stuff used in the movies and some of the science that has been inspired by them.
Daddy pushed Wyatt way up close to this scary creature. (not sure why) and I was worried that he might be afraid of it but Wyatt just busted out with “SNOW PUPPY!!!” So cute I tell ya!
Ewan McGregor wore that outfit on the right!!! Drool . . .
Wyatt is already half the height of Harrison Ford!!
We finished up the Star Wars exhibit and went to find something fun for Wyatt to do. The penny vortex has been at the museum since I was a little girl.
We got to touch Mammoth tusks
And play with big bubble tubes!
And Daddy and Wyatt are making the same exact fake smile here in front of the dinosaur bones.
The museum has a really great area in the basement that is for kids 1 – 6. It had trains to drive and cars at the atm, phones to call on, a grocery store and a neat water play area with a pretend boat. I could tell a lot of Moms had passes to the museum just so their kids could meet and play while Mom sat on a bench and chatted with other Moms. Nice!
Wyatt kept handing everyone this “Star Fish”. I guess he is learning his shapes after all!
We also went to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame but decided that we would come back without Wyatt sometime.
On the way back to our car Wyatt spotted this “Daddy Turtle” that he just had to go check out. He gave it a hugged and then pointed to it so that we wouldn’t miss it.
I was really glad we got to go the museum because it is shutting down September 3rd for a long overdue overhaul and who knows what it will look like when it reopens. Bets are it won’t be anything like what I know and remember from my childhood. I missed my Granddaddy a lot during our trip but I’m glad I got to go see it one more time!
