a day at the museum
Last Sunday there was some sort of big football game going on. Even though the pre-game coverage started around 6:43am or something, the game itself wasn't until that night. So we decided to get out of the house in the morning and go see some dinosaurs at the Field Museum. Now, I don't know if it had anything to do with the game, but turns out that it was a free admission day. Touchdown!
Kenny was very excited to see the dinosaurs and other assorted animals. He loudly announced that he was gonna see some dinosaur fossils, which sounded a lot like he was saying, "dinosour waffles."
"That's a humungus-dungus waffle, Mommy."
Overboard points out one of the many bones Sadie would give her left paw to munch on.
Kenny saw the elephants from across the room and let out a "bradalooooooo" in their honor.
Kenny thought it was cool that Sue the dinosaur had her own pet pterodactyl. He asked for one of his own but we declined. We're not getting a parakeet, no less a pterodactyl.
We had a lot of fun walking through the exhibit with the numerous stuffed animals. Kenny ran from display to display checking out all of the critters. Overboard and I liked this one a lot, since I got to look at her and say, "Platypus, honey. Platypus."
Evenkeel's favorite part of the Field Museum: The Tsavo Lions. These two lions rode roughshod over a group of railway workers who had infringed on their turf. By the time the lions were brought down the final score was: Lions 140 - Railway Workers 2. The movie, "The Ghost and the Darkness" was based on these two.
Kenny is a big fan of any museum that tells him to step into the exhibits. In this case, a dino foot print. Or a really big paperweight. We were divided in opinion on this one.
Kenny also checked out the mini-triceratops for historical accuracy. It passed.
Kenny and Evenkeel debate why or why not a stegosaurus would make a good pet.
Finally, we ventured down to the official kid's area of the museum, where Kenny got to stomp around a dinosaur nest, complete with a hatching dino egg and a mama dinosaur. His parenting skills were pretty good, but hopefully he won't drag Goldblatt around the way he did that mama dino. Oof.
Did we Kenny have fun? Well, he was asleep by the time we left the parking lot. So I'm going with a "yes" here. We had fun too.
