We Actually Made It

When I told our oldest we were going to attempt the museum again, he wearily asked, "Are you sure it's open?" I checked the website AND called just to be sure. Nonetheless, we still wouldn't have been surprised to get there and find it closed on President's Day. We were in luck. Instead our surprise was how fast it takes to get there without traffic delays and wrong turns.
We saw the dinosaurs moving their heads and tails around. One exhibit showed four small carnivores taking down a bigger dinosaur: complete with torn flesh, blood and eerie sound effects . There was an A&E video playing nearby which was hard to hear over the mournful wails of the dying dino. The dinosaur above had a better set-up: it merely turned it's head around and got offered imaginary food.
Even though they aren't real, it's always a good idea to protect yourself...just in case.
Padawan zoned in on some learning game. I thought the point of going to the musuem was to spend time away from video games?
Dutch Baby was much happier this go-around. We went in the morning so she was fresh and happy and not poopy, and her sippy cup was better looked after.

Maybe we can handle family outings after all.
