The other day Chris and I and my parents took the kids to the Children's Science Museum in Dallas. It was way more cool than we thought it would be! They had all kinds of great exhibits geared toward children. The kids had a blast and it was pretty interesting for us bigger kids too! The kids got to see the Dinosaur bones and then they got to dig for bones in the sand pit! We went on to blow giant bubbles, that was really fun! They got to also pick a giant nose and learn about the human body. They got to stand in the bio-hazard suits for a photo opp. The really fun part of the museum for the kids was that down below they have a level just for kids their age. It's split up into different aspects of the community with games, activities, dress up clothes all to teach the kids about how their communities are made up of a variety of different parts. They got to drive the fire truck and dress up like fire fighters at the fire station. They also played house in the mock, kid size house, learn about the outdoors and all the bugs and animals that live in the outside. They got to jump, climb and explore, learn about water, play in the fun house mirrors, build with giant Lego's, and they got to learn about the farm. They picked fruits and veggies, milked a cow, (it made me laugh how much Carson really liked to milk the cow) and even got to ride some horses! It was a really fun day for us and especially for the kids!
Super Funny Kids Quotes!
New Quotes.:
I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."
Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"
I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)
On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"
We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."
When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)
We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)

I am glad you guys finally made it to the Science Place. That place was a haven for me with two little ones,no family nearby, and Ben in school all day. My parents bought us a family membership for a year when they came to visit once and it was a godsend on those stir crazy or rainy days! Garrett loved the giant sandbox on the bottom floor and the water room. The humongous nose is hilarious.
I'm glad you had fun.
