Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.  It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's Superman!  The Man of Steel will “fly in” to the Children’s Museum of Houston’s 2012 Summer of Fun to celebrate his own birthday on June 30.  We’re throwing him a birthday bash complete with “Happy Birthday” singing, supersized “cake”, and dancing to the Superman song.  Come dressed as your favorite superhero and receive $2 off admission, June 30.
