Jeannine asked us if we wanted to go to the museum with her on this last free-day of the year at the museum. Of course we wanted to go! For free! Yes! They have the Dinosaur Exhibit that is going to be leaving Denver soon and I wanted to take the kids to see it ~ particularly Ben because he is obsessed with dinosaurs right now. Ask him to name a dinosaur...he can probably tell you the correct name of the dinosaur. We also invited Kathryn to join us because it was a good opportunity to spend time with the kids.
We started the morning with breakfast downtown. Jeannine, Richie, and Kathryn met us for breakfast ~ we needed to get extra fuel for a day at the museum! Then, Scott headed off to catch up at work (since he left early on Friday) and Richie went back home (he wasn't interested in the Dinosaurs at the museum...geesh!). Jeannine and Kathryn hopped in their cars and met us at the museum. It was still early and it wasn't nearly as crowded as I expected. We headed straight to the Dinosaurs and spent a good portion of the day there ~ learning about fossils and preservation. Then, we headed to the other dinosaur exhibit ~ the one that Denver has all year round ~ and learned more about dinosaurs and evolution. I was really, really surprised at the the interest both of my children showed in these exhibits. We even had time to visit the Space Odyssey exhibit and the Egypt exhibit ~ both kids seemed fascinated. Cailey liked the Space exhibit the best, but it was after lunch time (and nap time) and Ben was getting restless. I will definitely take Cailey back to the museum soon (without Ben) so we can spend some time at the Space exhibit. It was a fun day ~ but now we all need to rest and officially kick the cold bug out of our home. :o)
