Dinosaur Museum Field Trip

We went with Macie's preschool class on a field trip to the Dinosaur Museum.  I had never been before, but Macie loved it last year so we were excited.  Macie's "boyfriend" Dallas rode in our car with cute little Sammy, too.  We kind of split up into the groups that we drove with...my kids were more concerned about getting to the next thing rather than enjoying what they were doing.  Let's just say we made it through the entire museum in record time!  But the kids had fun.  Pax loves dinosaurs so he love it as well.  Their favorite parts were being able to play in the water/sand area and then being able to dust for dinosaur bones in the sand.

In this part of the museum the kids get to find all of the dinosaur "bones" which are magnetic, then they take it to the "lab" and put them all together.

Pax loved the sand & water, but he wasn't being a very good listener and kept throwing it...little stinker!

Ice Skating

Macie wanted to take ice skating lessons so we signed her up for this semester and so far she is LOVING it!  She is always trying to "skate" on slippery floors with her socks on.  I wasn't sure how she would actually like being on ice and how she would feel about all the falling that she would do especially in the beginning.  But from the first lesson she has loved every step of it. 

The first day they used their little walkers just to get used to the ice, and she was trying to be tricky the whole time by letting go.  By the end of the first lesson she was skating without the walker.  And even after many falls she just gets back up and goes on. 

The 3rd lesson they learned to skate backwards...this is her showing off her skills!

Buddies

The kids decided to cozy up under a warm blanket and watch a movie together...how cute are they?! 

Sure do love these 2!
