The Heard Museum

The outside of a log cabin on our nature trail.
Checking out the inside.
Playing with the toy bugs inside the museum.
The museum had a huge dinosaur exhibit outside throughout their trails, I was told by friends, but when we went, they had already taken them down. We saw some exhibits inside, however.


Scoping out one of the animals...
Throwing rocks...

All in all, this trip was fun but since I had never been before, I didn't realize there was so many trails and less exhibits. Next time I will not put my son or myself in sandals. This trip proved to be a challenge, logistics-wise and I am glad I had Craig with me because I have considered taking my kids to this by myself. There are lots of hilly trails and uneven walking trails with rocks, stumps etc. Miss W. didn't want to walk; she wanted to be held. Next time, maybe we can
go earlier and not so close to lunch/nap time.

Our First Circus

We had a busy month of February filled with lots of fun firsts for our kids. It was a great month! We took them to a small circus near our home town. The kids really enjoyed the tigers, acrobats and especially the elephants. Hannah even wanted to ride the elephant!
It was very dark so most of my pics didn't come out. This was one of the better ones.

Gymnastics Play

The trio had their first experience at a real gymnastics gym. Their cousin had a birthday party there. We had played lots of fun games, ate pizza and cake, opened presents.
A little group gathering on the trampoline.
Whitney enjoyed jumping!
Their big cousin M was so sweet to sit by her little cousins and explain the game to them and help them to stay involved with the game. :)

A balance beam experience...


They had a ball crawling through these foam blocks and I joined in for a family pic. And we even got cousin Z in with us. His Mama was way too pregnant to join in the fun!

A Movie Theater Experience

Last month, we took the kids to their very first movie. We went to see "Tangled" and they all really enjoyed it. We all ate popcorn with our eyes glued to the screen the entire time. Tyler and Whitney, I might add, ate popcorn through the entire movie. It was a great time for all!
