    Oooh sophia..... I work full time so miss most of it - but we are taking DD to the west melton observatory (sp) on the first Tuesday. They also have kids jetboating on the Waimak which I fancied, but we are trying to save some money and OH balked at the $25 each fee. I tried to explain that this was cheaper than normal, but no dice......

    Ohhh, now that's a great idea!! I can't think of a better way to spend an evening than showing them the universe and seeing their eyes light up and answering their questions
