Museum Day

Last Friday I took Allie-Ann to the State Museum for a fun mommy/daughter day out. Kyle started back at work and we had an entire day and most of the night together. So to beat the heat we searched for an indoor activity and the museum was the place to be. It was totally deserted, we basically had the place to ourselves. Even though Allie-Ann is not old enough to listen to me go on and on about how the Native Americans came to be, she had fun running around calling the Mammoth an Elephant and the Glyptodon a turtle. She was so cute. Her favorite room, however, was the discovery center which was filled with blocks, books, a tree house, space ship center and bridge, among other things. This was her education for the day and we were just as happy to be in the AC playing with blocks.

Inside the makeshift space ship. It was so cute because there was a red button that when she pushed it, it started a count down and Allie-Ann counted with it by saying, "Ten, six, three, two, one.....GO!" She's working on her numbers but it's very hard to do them backwards.

hummmm, should I go check on why the dinosaur doesn't have any skin????

She had to do this, to do.....
this, dig for dinosaur bones.

Wow, that's a big tree house. This is the only shots I get of Allie-Ann these days.
See what I mean..
This was taken at a surprise birthday party for my cousin who turned 30. Happy B-Day Chad! Great fun, they had a live band with food and drinks. If only we had a babysitter for that night!!
