We were aiming at getting home by 1pm on Monday, but still wanted to see the other dinosaur museum. So we got up, dressed, packed, ate breakfast and were at the dinosaur museum when it opened at 9 am. We were quite proud of ourselves.
We were the only ones there for a while. It really was an impressive little museum. They had activities for the kids, like digging up dinosaur bones. They had a lot of actual bones and Native American artifacts to look at and touch. How cute is this little papoose with a little shade cover on the top?! And the little beaded moccasins are darling.
The exhibits were very well done. Matt and I tag teamed some so we could actually read about the displays. We could have spent a lot more time there, but had to keep moving.
This is Daniel in mid "Whoa!" which he has taken to saying with quite the dramatic flare.
They also had lots of dinosaur statues outside that we walked around and looked at before we headed out. Kate took a little convincing to stand next to the dinosaurs in the garden area outside. "They're a little bit scary." she said. She braved it after we told her they were not real. She doesn't look like she quite believed us.
Could not ask for a better husband or father. We're lucky folks!
This time Daniel is in mid "ROAR!"with his little dino that the hotel gave him (Kate had a pink one).
From the museum we headed back home. We had to take a feed-the-little-guy-who-thinks-he's-starving break. The timing was good, as we were coming up on Daniel's summit. Matt took Kate and Daniel for a little walk around the gift shop and then for a snack on the big rock near where we were parked.
We got home in time to jump back into daily life. Matt was soon having his meeting, I was getting the kids lunch, and the big kids were home. Life is good.
