It's a Saturday and the whole family is at home. The boys were engaging in creative play. They were "flying." Experimenting with parts of their Discovery Kids Pop-Up Tent set as "wings".....jumping off the tops of the couches to test their theories. Finally, Sam comes in the kitchen and asks in despair, "Why can't I fly?" Luckily, Dad the Engineer is there to answer the question in detail. As Dad is explaining, Mom remembers the girl's Wright Brothers book from long ago, when we visited the Wright Brothers Museum. I pull it off the shelf (Ha! Reward for being some kind of organized!) and hand it to Dad. He is able to find pics and such in the book to help. Now Sam has asked to go visit the Hobby Shop in Rock Hill today to look at the airplanes, but Mom is still a nervous wreck from the mean, old Stress Monster attack, and will need a nap to even make it to Dad's drum performance tonight. So...looks like we are into a study of flight. I am thinking Aviation Museum....maybe even a short trip to the Wright Bros Museum! If we do that, we can add lighthouses as well!
