Mothers day out....with babies!

Jorie and I took the kiddies to the Pink Palace yesterday to see the dinosaurs. It was okay but glad it was free wouldn't have been worth paying for it. Of course it may have been for other people but if you have small children just make your way downstairs to the mammals then hope right upstairs to the animated dinosaurs. The rest is mostly fossils which are cool but not to two year olds.

The mammal exhibit was small but they really like it. Although, thanks to my job, Holden has seen most of those things up close anyway. I did find it cool, (most would be offended) that in that exhibit was some creature with a dead bird in its mouth. Hey, that's what nature is about.

The animated dinos were upstairs. There were about five different ones and very cool. ***Heads up the woman guarding the dino exhibit says, "you can take pictures but not use your flash b/c it fades the dinosaurs." Well, everyone used their flash, not to mention you have to to get a picture b/c the room is very dark. So wait till she is occupied, which is quite often.

We left the museum after only 45 minutes and headed over to the zoo b/c it was free as well. Didn't see too much b/c it was very hot and animals were all inside and b/c it wasn't planned the kids had no sunscreen so we couldn't stay long. We will be getting a family membership for us to share. It's only $80.00 and after three visits will be paid for.
