Mondo and Ethan had a day off a few weeks ago and we decided to make a family day out of it. We ended up going to the Ft. Worth Children's Museum. I have been wanting to go for years but just never took them. I've had several friends who take their kids regularly and really enjoy it. I guess they haven't met my kids. For them it was lame-o. Part of the problem is that Caleb has the attention span of a gnat. He just wanted to run around and didn't care to learn how things work. Ethan was a little more into it but kept asking where they bouncy houses were. We stayed for a couple of hours then had a late lunch at a pizza joint. I don't think we'll be visiting the museum again anytime soon.
I'm not sure what the point of the hula hoops were but Ethan was frustrated that he couldn't do it.
This was pretty cool. It was this swirly smoke that you could turn into a tornado...until your 2 year old brother comes and karate chops through it.
Future obstetrician?
This was a cool magnifying glass thing that Caleb enjoyed.

Both boys enjoyed grocery shopping and checking out.
I love this picture. Caleb was crawling all over that thing trying to get to that turtle! We were getting the evil eye from the museum worker.
Lots 'o train tables. We had to keep Caleb away because he kept destroying them.
Checking out some dinosaur specimens under the microscope.
"Dino dig." This would have been better if it wasn't a thousand degrees outside! They got a stick and a paintbrush to go search for buried dinosaur bones. The kids enjoyed it and got covered in sand.
Here's a larger scale view.

Caleb just enjoyed splashing in it!
Ethan climbing across a freshly built bridge.
Ethan enjoyed the water stuff outside. He shot the waterguns at the targets and it made the propellers move and water shoot out other places.
He also liked pushing down the lever and making water shoot up high.
I was suprised he was into this. Those are foam bricks that you could stack in between the yellow poles. He was getting into it and telling all the kids to help stack them high. Mean mommy made him leave before he was ready because we were melting and starving!

It wasn't fun? It looks cool and the kids look like they are having a good time by the pictures. I guess I won't bother taking Colton and Carson if it is lame!

I think we have been there before. Was there an ambulance playset?
