Fall Break at the Dinosaur Museum

For Fall Break we spent Wednesday and Thursday night and Grandma and Grandpa's house. Then we headed to Logan and spent Saturday at the Kirkham's. Jeanette and I had a great time cutting vinyl and making really cute home decor. I will have to post some of it later.

At the end of the day on Saturday we headed home. We would have stayed at Jeanette's or Grandma's house longer, but Daddy was home from his conference and we wanted to spend Sunday at home with him.

We did have fun plans lined up for Monday, since it was still Fall break. We went with Karyn and Melinda and their kids to the dinosaur museum!

My kids love to go to the dinosaur museum! It is even more fun with friends. One of the first things we did was to hustle to the erosion table. Since we got there first thing in the morning we knew it wouldn't be crowded yet. We actually had the place to ourselves for quite a while.

The kids had a great time playing in the water and sand. Amelia wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole thing and she was barely tall enough to see over the edge!

This time the boys were finished with the erosion table before the girls were. Probably because they found a computer to play on!

After playing at the erosion table, we went back to the beginning and went through to look at the exhibits. The boys had a fun time spinning the wheels of time, trying to see if they could get the biggest wheel to spin.

I love watching how the kids take interest in more and more things each time we go to the museum. They really enjoyed looking at everything with their friends.

It was nice to have somewhere fun to take the kids on the last day of fall break!

The kids especially enjoyed playing with the magnetic dinosaur puzzles. For the most part everyone did really well at the dinosaur museum. I had to put Amelia back in her stroller several times because she doesn't quite understand the concept of staying with Mommy. She gets curious and tends to wander off if I don't keep and eye on her!

We had a great time checking out the exhibits. Even the scary ones!

Of course at the end of the visit we got to dig for dinosaur bones. It is always a favorite part of our trips to the dinosaur museum.

After our visit to the dinosaur museum, it was lunchtime. So we all went to McDonalds together. What a fun day for the kids! I have to say that I really enjoyed myself as well. It was nice to get to talk to Karyn and Melinda. We don't get to see each other as much as we used to! It seems that our kids keep us busier than ever the older they get.
