Family Fun

Last weekend P.K. was off of work so we decided to have some family fun. Aaron's class had gone to a local museum on a field trip and Aaron loved it. A few weeks ago Aaron and P.K. had a guys day and they went to the same museum. P.K. purchased a membership so we could all go back.

This museum had the best fossil/dinosaur exhibit I have ever seen.


P.K. was on the third floor overlooking these dinosaurs. Hannah wanted him to take a picture of us from above. There were several flying dinosaurs suspended in air. That was her favorite part. One can be seen in the top right hand corner of the above picture. Hannah and I are standing between the two tails.

The kids were able to touch fossils. Some of course were replicas but there were also some real ones.

There was a gallery of several types of dinosaurs "with skin on." Hannah wanted to bring Boof Bear so he is in several shots.

We walked into one gallery just in time for an animal chat. The kids got to touch a snake. Aaron loved that part!

The girls were both looking forward to making giant bubbles.

We are looking forward to taking advantage of the membership and going back.

Looks like fun--we'll have to check that out when we visit you next. :) You know, I've never asked you if you are anti-dinosaur! Several of our good friends are--Doug and I are not. Interesting topic of conversation, at least. :) We MUST talk soon--I'm so deep in Jody withdrawal now that I hardly know what to do with myself... :) XO

Looks like a fun time! We were all set to have a family fun day today and Jalyn woke up and said, "Mom, my stomach hurts." She's been on the couch all day. No puke yet (please no) - but she can't walk around without her stomach hurting her. Fun.....
