Dirty Fun (not like it sounds!)

Our day started out SO fun! With a few friends from the neighborhood, we headed to Thanksgiving Point to the Dinosaur Museum. The line wrapped around the building and down the road. No worries-we only waited in line for 1 hour!! Maddux had so much fun looking at fossils and running around. The hi-light was the erosion table. Sand AND water-he loved it! I had to bribe him so we could go home. We visited Aunt Melis and played with luke after, what a super day!

The LINE! (This is only one side of it. What people do for cheap entertainment, right!)
The erosion table

On our way home! Maddux biting his blanket (his official way of showing his exhaustion)

We recently made a major improvement to our backyard!! A SANDBOX! Bones is determined to make a cover for it to keep cats out. It drives me crazy when I see a cat in my yard. If I wanted a cat, I would get one.
Here is Maddux saying "Cheese Louise!"

Maddux focusing on digging a "house". His sand digger was his 1/2 birthday present. (And a way I could send him outside to play while I take care of Swayzee). I've learned to deal with sand all over my deck-better there than in my house! Hooray for summer! What will I do when playing outside is no longer an option? STOP! I can't even think about winter yet!

I feel the same way about cats if I wanted one I would buy one.

Why was it so crowded today? It wasn't $2 Tuesday? My kids love the erosion table too -always a hit!

I love your sandbox, but I truly do NOT want one...sand drives me crazy! Glad you came to visit.

Cute kiddos. I'd invest in some warm clothes for winter. Outside is STILL and option. (we hope).
