Here are some more pictures of DC. This is the Air and Space museum. You know to be honest, it just wasn't our thing. It was worth going to, the museum is really cool, but our kids just weren't that interested. They wanted to go to the gift shop and then leave. oh well.
Ellie being cute.
LOL, Darren is such a great dad.
This is at the Museum of Natural History. My kids loved this museum. It's to bad we went here after the Air and Space Museum- we were ALL so tired. We only spent a half day there and easily could have spent the whole day there. They loved the dinosaurs, animals, ocean, bugs, and we really like the geological section with the jewels and rocks.
This is Paul's specialty. He is such a little scientist. They had little tables around with college students doing little demonstrations and teaching the kids. Paul went to a table where the college girl put out 6 plastic animals on the table. A T-Rex, Plesiosaurus, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Dimetrodon, and Stegosaurus on the table. She said, "can you tell me which ones are dinosaurs?" Darren and I thought,"this is a trick question, they are all dinosaurs" Paul, however, knew better. He quickly sorted them into two piles, and named each one of them as he separated them, "well, the Plesiosaurus is not a dinosaur because it swims, the Pterodactyl is not a dinosaur because it could fly, and the Dimetrodon was before the dinosaurs- although it was a reptile like the dinosaurs. To be classified as a dinosaur it must live on land, be a reptile, be cold blooded, lay eggs, and lived in one of 3 periods of time- Triassic, Jurassic, or Cretaceous periods. The T-Rex, Triceratops, and Stegosaurus are dinosaurs." Darren and I looked at each other and started laughing and the college girl's jaw dropped open. She said, "how old are you? You should be the one doing this!" I just said, "thank goodness for the Discovery Channel."
Kyle playing the drums and Krissy and Sins. I think we could have stayed there a lot longer- the kids had so much fun!
Ellie and Lucy got along great!
All the kids again.
We went to this really fun ice cream place. The kids loved the ice cream, and I loved the way it was decorated.
Fun times!
