Bright and early my kids were up bouncing off the walls ready to go to the dinosaur museum. I couldn't keep them entertained any longer at the hotel, so with 1.5 hours to opening we took off. Only thing is our hotel is only 1o minutes away. So that gave me plenty of time to snap some photos of my kids. They smiled great cause they were so excited!
It was great because we were there right at opening and had the place to ourselves for a couple of hours. The kids were able to do all the hands on things without crowds. The boys had read that this museum was the only one with a baby mammoth on display, so we spent some time looking for that. Davis's favorite was the sand and water table. They thought it was great fun to build dams, then let the lakes break through and kill all the dinosaurs. Owen loved the big magnetic puzzle board. Him and I spent awhile putting together the dinosaurs. When it got more crowded they went through everything again, and were quite bummed that kids had ruined all their work on the dams, and puzzles. Sorry guys that is what happens.
Ally wasn't so sure of the place. She got pretty nervous. Right before we left, she ran up to what scared her the most and asked me to take her picture. She was SO proud of herself.
We also visited farm country while we were out there. It wasn't too big of a hit with the boys. They thought it was pretty "little kidish". Luckily for Ally the pony rides and wagon rides were no where near the wild turkey's because once Owen got a look at those ugly things he was done with the place. But he stuck it out for his sister.
We have had a fabulous time together. I am so glad that we took this little trip!
