Natural History Museum

The first day Chase and Kaylee were here Ethan and Olivia were sick, translation we were totally lame and didn't do anything fun. So, on that lame Wednesday Kaylee and I searched the internet to find something fun. She said she wanted to go to the museum, so I called Brian to let him know the game plan.

Instead of saying sounds great! He said, "Who wants to go to the Museum?"

"Kaylee said she does."

"Our Kaylee?" (Yes we do realize she isn't actually ours)

"YES!"

I don't think he believed me until he got home from work and she told him herself! As luck would have it Thursdays are get in free night during the month of March after 3:30 pm. Right after Brian got home from work we headed out.

The rock area was HUGE! It seemed like we were in there forever and we didn't even look at everything.

I love this picture because it was the last in a series of about 5 before they just gave up! HA


The coolest thing about the dinosaur exhibit are the diagrams showing which bones are real, which ones are casts made from actual ones that are just to fragile to put out, and the ones that they didn't have and are just guesses.


Brian feeding Luke to the dinosaur. This picture was taken about 2 minutes before a museum worker asked Brian to take Luke off his shoulders. I am guessing they would have frowned upon this.
Now isn't this just the cutest thing you have ever seen?
We spend majority of our time in the dinosaur area and here where they were digging.



This section of the museum helped me understand that when you are just looking at bones every animal looks super creepy.
This man fighting off this wild beast was another of the kids' favs.

I am so in love with this little baby, why on earth is he so dang big!
Olivia was starting to wind down at this point. She was such a trooper but I know she wasn't feeling her best.
Kai filling out some very important paper work for the museum just before we left.
The whole group!
It was so much fun! I am definitely going to get a membership.
