A Trip to the Children's Museum

A couple of weekends ago, we headed to the cities for a little museum fun. Having been to the Children's Museum there before, I remembered what a pain strollers are....this is how Alex and I traveled!

Brady loved the water tables again. He was soaked by the time we moved on.
Another favorite was the stage. Here the kids could play along with music and watch themselves on tv. He was pretty hilarious dancing around and playing.
Brady even took a bow when he was finished. Such a performer!

It was great that Brady was able to do more on this trip than the first time we took him. He loved the kitchen and cooked up a storm.

The cash register at the grocery store was tons of fun too.

Now the real reason why we went....DINOSAURS! Brady LOVES dinosaurs right now thanks to Dinosaur Train on PBS. He thought this was the coolest thing ever. A little reluctant at first...

but had kisses for the dinos in no time!

He got to see the big ones, play with the little ones,

and even be a REAL paleontologist!

Digging for fossils was by far his favorite thing that we did. After about 20 minutes of digging Andy asked Brady if he was ready to move on. He moved his goggles to his forehead, sighed and said "Daddy, I'm doing my work!" Then he returned the goggles to his eyes and went right back to it. We just had to laugh.

Riding the Trodon

This is Brady helping the Trodon keep her eggs warm. :)

Brady's words "Oh...by...gosh!"

The dinosaur exhibit was awesome!

Alex LOVED the infant/toddler room. He could roll and play and had so many cool things to look at.

This is his little owl face. We see it all the time!

Our little blue bird had a ton of fun dressing up!

...and flying all around the forest!

And then...they crashed. We had two VERY tired boys. It was a super fun day!

This was later that night at my sister's place. Brady loves "hiding" in this crock.
