Speaking of "Shivering your timbers" you will want to stay put to watch the Franklin's Flying Circus in Pirated Skies. A heart thumping wing-walking act set to the tale of a pirates mission to take over the skies.

  1. The science night about oil looks way cool. We just had a science night at my daughter's elementary school earlier this week, and it was lots of fun- it was all about space and the solar systems, planets, etc. Complete with a "hover craft" ride attraction. Do you have someone going to the oil night to report back how it was?
