Any Kid's Dream

Last weekend, Chris and I took TJ to the newly remodeled and opened Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. We hadn't been to it before the remodel (it was under construction already when I moved here), so this was our first look at it. They did a great job - there was a TON to do and see and TJ had a blast!

Our first stop was the "DinoDig" where kids dig through sand to try to find the 'dinosaur bones.' TJ really liked this area since he's a big fan of dinosaurs at this age.

Chris helped him try to find some T-Rex bones......

Actin' silly out in the archeologist area!

And what's more fitting to be happening across the street from the kids museum??? A GUN SHOW!! Well, it IS Texas, ya know......

These big cactus/aloe (not sure which) plants were part of the landscaping around the museum - I loved them!! I want some for my yard!

Can you see the wheels turning in their heads? Learning about fossils.......

Then we headed outside again to this little water park thing where you can play with games and contraptions that have to do with water and the physics of how it flows and works. We liked the area where you shoot water guns at stuff!

Here are Chris and TJ working their magic....

Here's me and TJ shooting away!

I look very intent on hitting my target.....

More water experiments for Daddy and son....

Then we headed off to the 'building construction site' that they had set up. They had foam bricks and wheelbarrows and the frame of a building. The kids got to use their building skills!

It was such a fun day and we all had fun - nice job, Fort Worth!!
