our 1st FW Museum outing

Today, Kendall & I met up with the Gorsline fam for a day out at the Fort Worth Museum of Science & Natural History ... in downtown Fort Worth.  We'd never been before and all the kids had earned a "free admission" ticket to the museum as part of the prizes for the Library's summer reading program.  Everyone had a great time and I think this is a place that we will be getting a Family Season Pass to ... we will definitely be coming back!

We spent several hours there and still missed several exhibits (that we will have to go back to see) ... they also have an IMAX theater (4D movies) and a Planetarium that we'd love to check out.  We spent most of our time in the Children's Museum and the Dinosaur exhibits.  It was so much fun ... and educational ... and indoors in air conditioning. Awesome!

Inside the Children's area, there are several different stations ... a Hospital/Baby/Ambulance area, a Grocery store, a Railroad Train, a Construction site, an old Trolley with a movie showing, puzzles, dominoes, an outdoor hydro station, and a Natural Science area.  They had a blast checking out each station ...

can't you tell ... Little Miss Cheeeese!




inside the Children's area entrance ... you walk through a huge
alligator's mouth ... too cool!  We were trying to get a picture of
Kendall & I but everyone wanted to join in ... the more the merrier!

this seemed like just as good place as any for resting, I suppose.
she was past ready for a nap, but she did great ... my happy little 2 year old!

the Dino dig ... this great area was set up outside for digging ...
and we found some HUGE dino bones!


We ate lunch at their food court and spent a few more hours checking the other exhibits out before heading home. We had a great 1st experience at the Museum and we will be back ... soon!
