Our Trip to IMAX Theatre in SLC

We decided at the last minute to take a trip to Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City this weekend to take the kids to see the new Ocean movie that just came out in 3D. We all bundled up and decided to take a ride on the train since it was so much fun when Julie and I did it on her birthday and we thought the kids would enjoy it.
The kids were excited to take their first train ride.
On the train, Billy and Maggie had fun looking out the windows at all the passing houses. Maggie tired of doing that in a hurry and said, "This is boring". Thats our Maggie!

Drew was even good at first. I think he thought it was pretty cool that he could travel and not have to be in a baby seat. He wanted to walk all over the train and he doesn't know the meaning of quiet yet.
We finally arrived in Salt Lake to see the movie.
The movie was excellent. The 3D glasses were a fun twist. All of us jumped several times like when the sea snakes swam straight at us then appeared to be going down under our seats. Drew didn't keep the 3D glasses on though so I'm sure the movie wasn't great for him since it was all blurry without the glasses.
Afterward we killed time by wandering around the rest of the Planetarium. Billy and Maggie even got to walk on the moon...
And do the evening weather.
Julie finally pointed out to them that they were on TV next to the map .
The trip back was not quite as fun as the trip down since everyone was tired.
Drew did pretty good even though he was beyond tired. He has picked up screaming though and was screaching the entire night all through the movie and on the train ride back. In the movie he yelled out "Fish" which got a couple of chuckles from the people around us.

We finally got back on the train and back home. Drew even slept in the next morning (Which he NEVER does) It was a fun night with the whole family.
