Day at the Museum

On Good Friday, the kids and I met my parents and two of my brothers at the Children's Museum. It was so busy. I was thankful we had 2.5 adults per child. Oran and Lucy loved the dinosaur exhibit. I even let them wear the dinosaur costumes. I try and avoid such things because who knows when and if they ever get washed and what kind of germs the kids could be exposed to. I just tried really hard not think about it and focus on how much fun Oran and Lucy were having. They loved playing in the dinosaur nests and sitting on the eggs.
Oran and Lucy both rode the carousel for the first time. I love how such a simple ride captures my kids personalities so perfectly. While waiting in line the kids were watching the carousel going around. Lucy tells me she wants the biggest horse, one that goes up and down. Oran says he isn't sure which one he wants to ride. When we get on for our turn Lucy heads straight for a big, jumping horse that has stopped in the highest position. Oran walks straight for the bench and says, "This is a great spot." While riding her jumping horse Lucy keeps repeating, "I am winning. The little girl is winning the race." When we get off the ride, I ask if they want to ride again. Oran says, "Nope, I am good." Lucy says, "Yes!"

Fun museum! Dinosaur stuff is so much fun. My favorite pic is the one of Lucy sitting on the eggs as if she is a mother keeping them warm. Super cute!

Can I just be the one to raise Lucy if something were to happen to you guys? I know my parenting skills are sub par but she is so sweet and so cute and so darling. . .
you don't have to give me an answer right now.
