Fernbank Museum of Natural History

While in GA for the Christmas holidays, we decided to take the kids to the Fernbank Museum of Natural History.  It was a lot of fun and an excellent way to pass 3 hours by.  Xander was just beside himself with all the dinosaur replicas and skeletons.  And all the kids enjoyed all the hands on exhibits.

The 3 youngest standing in front of a dinosaur.


Little Little Larry with his hand in a dinosaur handprint.

Some of the replicas were a little too realistic
for Ruby Isabella's heart.  Every time we 
passed this gator, she would scream
and demand to be carried.

Some blowing exhibit that Ruby and
Denzil were having fun with.

A giant sloth with my two little sloths.


Above is Ethan with a Polar Bear replica
and below is Ethan being weighed like a Polar
Bear.  I think he and Xander had the most fun
with all the exhibits.


A little Arctic trivia.

My favorite picture of my 3 boys.
Behind them are 3 different bear skulls.

I had to get a picture of Xander with the dinosaur
skeleton.  He said this museum was just like
the movie, "Night at the Museum."
He absolutely loves dinosaurs.

A little penguin slide anyone?
Ruby would not get off this thing.
She was sliding every which way.


My 3 youngest penguins.



Polar Bear Feet Anyone?
All the kids enjoyed putting on the
Polar Bear feet to walk like them.






Ethan found some penguin costumes lying around.
I wish I had my video camera because he
was walking like them too.
Not to mention his little Happy Feet dance.


Ruby & Larry were enjoying the Polar Bear den
exhibit.  I think the bottom pic actually had
my 4 older kids crammed in.  Larry was the smart
one hanging out by the entrance.


This was the entire family's favorite exhibit.
Here we are in a museum of history and we are
having more fun with bubbles.







Who doesn't like a glass orb filled with energy?
All of my kids were mystified at this small
exhibit trying to figure out how this
ball was working.

How do you do it? Great memories, like the ones I have of us in Washington DC. It isn't until you are a parent that you realize how much effort it takes to give your children these experiences. Hat off to you and to Larry!

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Can You Guess What Might Be Wrong!!??

Here is Ruby so proud of what she has done. Can you guess what it might be? This might be a better shot of her pure joy and satisfaction. Oh dear. Can we say hats anyone!? "Hi everyone. Aren't I beautiful?" "I am such a princess." Post a comment if you have figured it out. Thank goodness those Christmas pics were already made!!!
