So today we ventured to the Heard Museum in McKinney with The Vaughn Family! On display was... DINOSAURS and the weather was beautiful so we just couldn't pass this up. When I say the weather was beautiful I am not lying... 74 degrees and sunny in January is VERY rare in Dallas and it gave us a little taste of Spring... too bad the freezing rain and temperatures are back in a few days!
We started inside with the bugs, spiders and snakes. The kids had a good time briefly looking at everything... mostly they couldn't wait to get outside, run around and find those dinosaurs!
Checking out a scorpion
How many bugs does it take to match your weight?
Sharing in the sandbox... sweet boys!
I wish you could have seen the looks on their little faces when we got outside and they first saw these dinosaurs... it was priceless! Brody and Grady both want to be Paleontologists when they grow up so this was just their cup of tea! (Actually, Grady told me tonight he wanted to be a cowboy and Paleontologist...) :)
The dinosaurs moved and made noises... some interesting noises and my little potty-humor son thought one of them sounded like he was tooting... lovely!
Sweet Kate, Bro and Grady - All three, together!
And this one was pretty graphic.... obviously a meat-eater!
After a yummy picnic lunch, the kids had bunches of fun playing in the sandbox. Well playing, throwing sand, eating it... whatever works!
It was a WONDERFUL day and fun was had by all! I have a feeling it will be a bunch more fun for me late spring/summer when I am not 8 months pregnant and hiking around anymore! My legs and feet are really feeling it tonight... but the huge smile on Grady's face makes it worth every second. RROOAARR!!!
