The drive down was eventful as always. Between Kohen needing to know each town we were passing through starting with Henrietta and Kresee asking the entire trip "Hold me mommy?" And then the ordeal of what movie. He wanted Star Wars and she wanted Elmo. I made them compromise with Curious George.
But we finally got there and Kresee got scared immediately. She wasn't so sure about those dinosaurs anymore;) And I was determine to not have to pay for Kresee. If you are under 2, you are free. To the "super nice" ticket lady. So if I have a 2 year old (crap, already messed up) does she still need a ticket. "She's 2 or not 2?" Oh she's definitely not 2--almost like in a few weeks, but not 2 yet (I'm a horrible liar!)
It didn't help Kresee out that the big t-Rex was roaring!
Kohen loved it though...Walked right up to the triceratops...
my pictures aren't in very sequential order..After we got through eating lunch Kresee said "I go see the dinosaurs" ..This is her doing her complete best at standing in front of him without being too scared...She was cracking me up..."Cheeeese"
Again, this was after lunch when she was a little more brave and didn't mind standing closer
IMAX--we went to the 1:30 movie about bugs after lunch....I haven't been to one of these since I was a kid...I remember seeing the beavers with my mom, dad, and sister...Kohen enjoyed it...Kresee had the best time which included not sitting in her seat, but on the steep stairs...She "ooohed and awwwed" and "wow, see the bugs" the entire 45 minutes...Ok, 40 minutes because she almost feel asleep on the floor the last 5 mintues...I even had the pleasure of taking her to the restroom as she said "I go poo-poo" 10 times on our way out:)As soon as the movie came on, Kohen grabbed his seat thinking he was going to fall out...We laughed at him!
On to the dinosaur exhibit...It was actually our first stop of the morning...After being scared just in the entrance, she wasn't sure at all about this whole dinosaur thing....But she was OK, just didn't want to get too close...Playing with the tools...
Kohen getting to compare his foot with a dinosaur's
And Kresee had to do it as well...
The area where the kids could be paleontologists was probably their favorite...
Hey, I made it into 1 picture...The thermal heat camera...That's me, Kerry and Kresee...Who knows where Kohen took off to:)...This area was all about the body and germs....In fact, Kerry made the comment that we actually found a place nastier than Chuck-E-Cheese (haha)...
Sitting in a big hand...I'm sure it was full of germs
The largest set of shark jaws....
Climbing through the spider web....
Looking at a tarantula...
Checking out a turtle....
Crawling through like an ant....
Milking a cow... 
The firetruck area...
Playing some music.....
The water area---of course one of the favorite things of the day......
Making some big bubbles....
Kresee loved the air and the ping pong balls...She could have set there all day....
No Kerry is not going to the bathroom (haha)...It was a balancing machine...It wasn't easy!
The chair that spins and spins and makes you dizzy:)
Kresee needed a turn on the chair...Then we had fun with her and stood her up so she looked like a drunk person:)...She thought it was funny..."I do it again"
After spending most of the day in the Science building, we wandered next door to the Nature Building to see what was in there...It was neat...All the animals were ones that could be found in Texas....
This bear was huge....

(from my phone so not so great) I needed to text it to Uncle Jayson to show him the Coyotes in the background with Kohen doing his Coyote sign:)
And Kerry couldn't get over this wolf....He was HUGE!!..and scary looking...I didn't know they could get that big....
This bear was huge....
I had to take a picture of this...Texas Mountain Lions...Did I mention Kerry and I were running back in February on the trail by the Dirt Hill and one of these bad boys ran right across our path...No, it was not a bobcat (we do know what those look like)...This was a real deal mountain lion...It was not as big as the one in the back but was larger than the one in the front of this exhibit...
We weren't in the car 5 minutes eventhough Kohen insisted he was NOT tired and they were both out!!...Slept until we finally stopped in Decatur to grab something to eat...I asked Kohen if he took a good nap...He got really mad and said "I did not take a nap, I never went to sleep"...Okay, buddie:)
This was a great spot...I laid out on the foam floor and just let Kresee play with the big blocks while the boys did all the things in the room...I was worn out!!
I made Kohen go to the bathroom before we left the museum since he had NOT gone the entire day...I mean not since we left home at 8:00 am...The kid has the most amazing bladder...Anyways, he's mad here in front of some skull....
