Museum of Nature and Science
April 25, 2009This is where we went yesterday. You would think that on a Friday, it wouldn’t be that crowded. Well, you would be WRONG. There were OVER 1500 children there. Ugh. It was insane!!! I could hardly move in the play area with Kasen. Brad and I were taking turns, making sure we didn’t lose her in the crowd. I don’t like crowds anyway, but this was seriously miserable. We decided to take in the IMAX movie while we were there in hopes that there wouldn’t be as many people there. Of course, we were wrong again, it was almost filled to capacity. I can’t remember the name of the movie we saw, but it was all about the ocean. Kasen LOVED the movie for the first five minutes and then she hated it. She took turns sitting on each of our laps because she was getting scared. I guess bigger is not always better in Texas! LOL She said she didn’t like all the little things that kept going “bleep, boop, beep” as she demonsrated by opening and closing her hands. She was talking about the coral that looked like flowers opening and closing. Oh well, Brad and I enjoyed it.
After the movie, we were going to head out for lunch. However; we noticed that it wasn’t as busy, so we decided to give the museum one last try. We are SO happy that we did because it wasn’t crowded at all. Then, Kasen had an all-out great time. She played with EVERYTHING. We had to drag her out of there for a very late lunch. But, oh so worth it. We had the most fun when we had more free reign of the place. She loved the bubbles, sitting in the fire engine, playing all the instruments, splashing around in the water table, watching herself in all the funny mirrors, making the hot air balloon rise, and milking the pretend cow. There was so much more and she really did enjoy it all. On the way home, I asked her what her favorite part was, and she said “Not the movie, just playing.” LOL




See ya’ later!!
