Dinosaurs and more

On Saturday, after our Little Gym class and breakfast at Garden Cafe (our typical Sat. morning routine), we took David to the Museum of Nature and Science at Fair Park to see the dinosaur exhibit. We weren't sure if he would enjoy it or be scared, especially since the dinosaurs are really big and move around and make loud roaring noises as you walk through the exhibit. He loved it! He even started making growling noises back at the dinosaurs (which is absolutely adorable and he now makes when you ask him what a dinosaur says) and has been playing with the dinosaurs toy figures that we bought him ever since we got home. 

In addition to the dino exhibit, the museum is the greatest place for kids. We were so over the top excited to discover this place (especially the children's museum part- which is like the mecca for curious/active children). They have all sorts of science experiments that kids can do (which Matt and I really had fun doing and reading about as well-- reminds you how much you have forgotten since high school physics), a sand pit to "dig" up dinosaur bones, and an entire children's museum with all sorts of cool kid stuff (a fire engine with fire suits and hats that the kids put on before hopping into, a music center, a water center (David was more focused on splashing that pouring water in the mills to see how it makes the wheels spin), a performing arts stage and costumes for the kids to dress up in, etc.). We bought a membership and think this will definitely be a place we spend a lot of time in the future.  

This is down in the Children's museum...

 There is a part of the children's museum that is a farm theme where you plant the seeds (this consists of putting different color balls in holes--see pictures below), milk the cow, sort the veggies, collect the eggs from the chickens, etc. It is really neat. David was a big fan of putting the "seeds" in the holes.
