You can't actually make it out from the picture, but the wing span of the Spruce Goose takes up the entire glass portion of the building.
The Srpuce Goose is behind Bri and the kids. We've seen this a few times now, but the size is still just as impressive. Gigantic!! The wing span is longer than a football field.
Jake out front with the tanks, the camo is very appropriate.
A replica of a parachuter jumping on D-day.
The Museum also had an impressive firearms collection.
Planes everywhere:
An old fairgrounds shooting game.
The view inside the Spruce Goose. I know my photo skills are amazing!
The Museum also had a lot of interactive toys and activities for the kids.

Engines lined up:
This was my favorite plane, why? because I liked the way it looked.....shiny.
A statue of Captain Michael King Smith. The museum is dedicated to the life and memory of him, son of Evergreen International Aviation's founder Mr. Delford M. Smith.

The Institute's mission is to inspire and educate, to promote and preserve aviation and space history, to honor the patriotic service of our veterans. ( It truly does this )
With only 20 minutes left till closing we decided to run over to the Space Museum Building. I wish we had planned our time a little better....because we could have spent another hour there!

Avery in front of a picture of the first crew in space.
After Avery got her picture taken, Grace demanded that she get her picture taken too. She went in front of this exhibit and put on her usual face. After the picture was snapped, she put on her smile and said, "I want to see the picture!" She was quite proud of it????

They are supposed to be getting a Space Shuttle soon.
The entrance at the Space Museum:
A replica of a Moon walker. There was an actual piece of the moon there to touch also!

This place is a great arena to inpire learning and gratitude for those who have gone before us.
They also have plans for a future water park.....That will be interesting.
