Our final stop on Surprise Adventure weekend
The Houston Museum of Natural Science
Otherwise known as the Dinosaur Museum.
They were amazed at all the fossils.
Luke wanted to be a big boy and walk around the museum by himself.
Until his dad tried to feed him to the crazy fossils
Don't worry - Dallin was punished for trying to feed his baby to the monsters.
Jack loved seeing the dinosaurs, but was a little nervous about them.
He had to be reassured multiple times that they were not real.
Then he repeatedly told us, "The dinosaurs used to be real. They aren't real anymore. Now they are made out of fossils." He has told anyone who will listen since about the fossils - Grammy, Aunt Sass, even the librarians have heard about it.
He also likes to tell everyone about this shark mouth.
There is a picture next to it showing the shark eating an elephant.
That is one massive shark!
I was most impressed by this monster - the giant sloth!
After we finished with the dinosaurs, the wildlife exhibit, and the gem exhibit, we went to the butterfly exhibit.
It was amazing!
It was in an amazing atrium, full of butterflies!
There was also an encased beehive that impressed Jack.
One of the MANY beautiful butterflies we saw!
Luke was good at pointing out the butterflies to us.
There was even a waterfall inside.
There were a lot of fun games inside that the boys enjoyed playing too.
Once we got some lunch, we hit the road and headed back to Louisiana.
We stretched our legs at the border.
And took a walk on the boardwalk.
I'd say this was a very successful Surprise Adventure weekend!
VERY cool! That was quite the adventure!
ReplyDeleteWe are jealous - baby Paris wants to come visit Jack from Provo and go to all those fun places with him.
