family time at a museum

creative instruments

bunnies, pigs, cows, sheep,
goats, and turkeys

the kids were super excited to pet the donkey
(aka the hee haw)

kinsey is old enough now that if she
misses her nap she just goes with
the flow...she's ALWAYS been great at
that!

the butterfly house

special treat they chose: blue gatorade
(no red 40)

our 'hike'

i love how the rays hit his 'ta da'

the water pumps were really neat (and Braden's favorite thing!)

a square that can roll, and a new farm animal area

Memories: great weather, gorgeous skies, tunnels, chimes, water pumps, red wolves, a black bear, lemurs, petting a donkey, experimenting with the weather (tornados, hurricanes, floods), learning about earthquakes, ball room, building with kaplan blocks to show the 'domino effect', kaplan towers, rock climbing, blue gatorade, beautiful butterflies, strange birds, owls, scary insects, mountain climbing, racing and chasing on the bridges, sailing the boats, alligators, trains, smiles, giggles, hugs, piggy back rides, space ships, fiber optics, technology, snakes, uv ray experiments (VERY cool), demonstration about seatbelts (mock accident), walking hand and hand, and most of all family time.
