This past weekend, we headed to the Museum of Transportation and visited the Cars 2 “Agents on a Mission” tour. It was so cold. It started snowing while we were there and it was awful. We waited in line for a long time and the kids were cold and tired by the time we actually saw the cars.
These were taken in line…
We saw life-size versions of Mater, Lightning McQueen, and Finn McMissile.
The kids were able to get their photo taken with one of the Cars 2 characters… my kids chose Lightning. Joley was in the midst of a complete blood sugar meltdown so she was d.o.n.e. with this trip… my poor baby.
Since the kids finished their “missions” they were able to get a very cool drawstring bag with their name on it saying they are a secret agent. They are cute! It was a fun event… but would have been so much better had the weather cooperated.
After you link up on my linky, if you want to link up more, head over to any of the following (or all of the following)! Slice O’ Heaven, Seven Clown Circus , 5 minutes for Mom, and Mom Spotted.

Now I have the lyrics from Mike Foley’s Secret Agent Man in My Head, you know the one
There’s a man who leads a life of danger.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.
With every move he makes, another chance he takes.
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow.
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They’ve given you a number,
and taken away your name.
Beware of pretty faces that you find.
A pretty face can hide an evil mind.
Oh, be careful what you say, you’ll give yourself away.
Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow.
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They’ve given you a number,
and taken away your name.
Swingin’ on the Riviera, one day
and then layin’ in the Bombay alley next day.
Oh no, you let the wrong words slip while kissing persuasive lips.
The odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They’ve given you a number,
and taken away your name.
Hmmm, me thinks this needs to be changed up for your kiddos a bit, parts of the song are too disturbing, so how about……
There are a couple of kids who leads lives of danger.
To everyone they meet they’ll stay just strangers.
With every move they make, more chances they take,
Odds they live to conquer every tomorrow.
Secret agent kids,
Secret agent kids,
They’ve given you some numbers,
but they also love your names.
Beware of silly faces that you find.
A silly face can hide a laughable mind.
Oh, be careful what you say, you’ll give yourselves away.
Odds they live to conquer every tomorrow.
Secret agent kids
Secret agent kids
They’ve given you some numbers,
but they also love your names.
Swingin’ in the park, one day
and then playing with your friends the next day.
Oh no, you let the wrong words slip from ice cream licking lips.
Odds they live to conquer every tomorrow.
Secret Agent Kids
Secret Agent Kids
They’ve given you numbers,
but they also love your names.
Now try and get the tune out of your head before you go to bed.
LOL.
Lauralee Hensley says
Your children look so super cute all bundled up in their coats with their little rosy cheeks, rosy noses and giant smiles.
I like how they are all secret agents now. Maybe they’ll tell us about a mission they’ll be going on soon. Oh, wait they can’t do that or it won’t be secret. Shucks!
{Not Quite} Susie Homemaker says
That’s so awesome! I wish they were coming to Vegas, my son would LOVE to see that!

How fun… except for the weather, of course. I can’t wait ’til my son gets here and is big enough for this kind of thing. I need kids as an excuse to go to things like this. 🙂

There actually was no inside… it was under a pavilion so it was still freezing. 🙁
