Family day out!

Early March we spend a Monday in the city visiting the Adler Planetarium and also going iceskating in the new Maggie Daley Park which has a skating ribbon. A great but long day, the girls did so well in skating. Thankfully we had skates for all the girls bar me which I hired. I think the most expensive part of the day (apart from the Planetarium pass) was the parking, I suppose that is city living for you! 

Our main reason for going to the Planetarium was to see all the shows and being from true Dutch descent we managed to fit in all the paid shows, a bit touch and go for one of the shows (we came a few minutes late for one show). The shows over all were VERY impressive Albert in particular really enjoyed them. Its rare that we pay to see something (Free is good! :) and I'm glad that Albert got the opportunity to experience the Planetarium.
