I was so excited when I found out that the Science Museum of Minnesota was hosting a special presentation of The Science Behind Pixar this summer! We are huge fans of Pixar, and my husband and I in particular are both very interested in the filmmaking process. We’re the kind of people who actually watch all those special features on our DVDs. 😉
So, we and our two kids took some time on a weekday to make the drive down to St. Paul to visit with Mike, Sulley, Buzz, and our other Pixar animated friends, and we had a great time!

Today the Minnesota Children’s Museum is celebrating it’s Grand Opening—or grand re-opening, as the case may be. We had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the newly re-imagined Children’s Museum last Friday and were thrilled by how different and awesome it is!
I went with my daughter, a fellow STMA-area mom friend, and her two kids aged 7 and 5. We were expecting a few new exhibits and some add-ons, but what we found instead was a completely new museum. Most of the existing exhibits had been replaced by brand new ones, and the few things that were brought back were in different locations and with a new look.
