1 Week, 2 Museums (warning: picture overload)

As I posted last week we went to the National Cowboy Museum on Wednesday, then on Saturday the entire family ventured out to visit a Natural History Museum about 45 minutes away. We had so much fun! And have definitely decided to visit this place again in the future.

First we saw this large beast:


And we narrowly escaped its attack.


Thankfully for the girls Daddy helped lead them to safety. It was a close call.


Our visit was much calmer after that, but still we saw plenty of large creatures like this:

and this:The girls had a blast digging up bones and dino eggs.

And Ethan took it all in from the safety of his stroller. (notice his dino sweatshirt, I dressed him perfectly for the occasion.)


And Isabella even met someone named Isabella - Isabella Skeletonie that is.


The best part of visiting the museum was that we went as an entire family. For the past 3 years opportunities to do this have only presented themselves over holidays or summers, now for the past 3 weekends we've taken the opportunity to get out and do something fun as a family and we've all really enjoyed it. And a bonus - most of our excursions have been free with the exception of the gas it took to get there - which thankfully is sitting at a nice $1.77 a gallon for now!

I was wondering the same thing, is it free?! It looks like a fun place.

Danielle said...

Oh and I forgot to ask, where is this museum?

It was free b/c of Anthony's work. But there is a free night in December. And its in Norman.

You're funny girl!!! Of course you could borrow a chair!! It's not a weird request, heck I asked to borrow a drill Ü.

PS I LOVE the pic of Ethan
