Off to the Museum


I took the kids yesterday to the Museum of Science and Nature down at Fair Park yesterday. I had my Aunt and Uncle in law with me yesterday as much needed back-up. It ended up being quite and epic adventure. We left the house at 8:00 am and did not get home till almost 5:00 pm. We started out eating at the local Allen cafe for breakfast, the boys did quite well and actually ate their food in the restaurant. Usually they eat a few bites and want me to stuff the rest in my purse and pockets until they feel the urge to eat with less distractions.

We then headed out for the Dart rail and since we were going to be seeing some dinosaur bones my boys dubbed it the "Dinosaur train" (Complete with theme music). Luke took my camera and started taking pictures. He really has a good eye at 4. The trip was uneventful and enjoyable. We made our way down to Fair Park and strolled over to the Museum. The boys enjoyed all the statues and murals that are scattered around by the entrance. We went in and straight to the dinosaurs. Little boys love dinosaurs.

We played for hours in the Children's museum, it was a very hands on place for them to explore and imagine. They were fire fighters, performers, scientist, farmers, and bugs. Everyone was exhausted by the time we headed home, but in all a very successful day out.
