Fun Filled Weekend Adventure

Dinosaur Museum 

We loved seeing all the different sections of the museum and learning lots together. It was great that Dad was with us and we could experience so much. All of the kids really enjoyed being in the hands on area and making Dams and bearing their Dinosaurs in with the sand. Cousins also got to go with us so they were a great addition to all our fun. The kids were amazed at how big the Dinosaurs were.  Evelyn admits that they were so tempted to touch the Dinosaurs, thankfully I think all the kids did great at resisting the temptation.  

Children's Museum 

Our favorite part by far was the Jungle area of the Museum. We stayed there the longest. We did also enjoy all of the other areas but didn't do all of the water works area because we saw so many people leaving the area very wet that we didn't want to have our kids experience that too. It worked well for us to have a house rule of staying in the same area together until everyone was ready to leave that area. With 7 (5 of our own, 2 cousins) kids it is important to set up those kind of expectations. 

We also enjoyed eating out for lunch together and had a great time going to a healthy place were we got lots of stares due to the amount of kids we had with us. 

We are super blessed that our cousins have an apartment attached to their home and we were able to stay there for two nights so that we could enjoy things that we don't normally get to go do. 

Loveland Living Planet Aquarium 

We spent a good amount of time here on Saturday and really enjoyed all of the different plants and animals from all over the world. It was nice to warm up in the Jungle and too touch some sea animals. Some of out favorites were the River Otter's and the Penguins. They were both very active and playful as we observed them. With the large amount of people we were grateful that our large family stayed together and no one was lost. We really enjoyed the Aquarium!

So we crammed a large amount of learning into one weekend and also a great deal of fun. When we returned to Logan we were also able to participate in a Shakespeare performance by Stetson's class together with a family dinner. He did well in all of his parts and participated well!
