The Free Outings.

I have to say a big THANK YOU to my brother Kevin and Miriam. When they left back out to Kenya they sent me a card for all the children's museums in America. Since they had paid for it they did not want it to go to waste... so they sent it to me, for us to use! We did not have to pay for this fun day. It was on them. :) Thanks guys. The kids loved it.








lol I couldn't believe how inquisitive Lexxi was at the museum. OH MY GOODNESS. The questions just kept coming. "Why is that so big? what happened to them? how do they know that is what they look like? what color where they?" I answered "Aren't you glad they are not around today?! just look at those teeth... they probably wouldn't even chew you.. .just swallow you like a vitamin!" They just starred. HA HA. They were so funny. A few mins later I directed her to the little video showing, how and why they think Dinosaurs looked back then. It was just the start of Many many questions.

THE BUBBLES.







I couldn't get a good pic of one. But they were big.


FUN WITH MIRRORS








HE's got you and me brother in his hands....






MORE MIRRORS




America's Shortest News Casters. :)



He thought it was hilarious that he was on tv.







At one point we didn't have much to do. So we sat and watched.



The Little Fire man.





(No that isn't his hand. He is dark just not that dark during the winter months ;)

DRESSING UP.








The ants that got stuck in the spider web.


Milking Josey.




POLAR BEARS.

This was funny....On the way over I said Look how big that bear is Ethan... He shrugged his shoulders and said "its not that big"... Then I snuck up behind him and pinched his bottom and said boo. lol He jumped so high. "Then why did you jump?"I said. He got embarrassed and said... "Mommy don't" Then laughed and tried to do it to me. Ya... little tough guy kept his eye on me after that!


You turn the handles and it creates electricity to where it captures your image on the screen.

Lexxi.


I thought this fossil was so cool. I have some of my own in Africa. I love collecting them. Of course it probably isn't as valuable as this one was!

After the museum we went back to waxahachie to get some ice cream from the marble slab creamery which we had gift cards too. It was a wonderful free day. Well for us at least. We really enjoyed the blessing! God is so kind.
That afternoon we came home. I wasn't feeling so hot so I just sat and watched as the family played cards. I wanted to always remember the cute walls that the kids make when they play. Their little hands were so tiny they need to lay them down. Lexxi kept peeking over to look at his cards. Sneaky girl.




We were all tired. We slept well.
