Tali's Day Out

About two weeks ago, we needed to get out of the house.  We ended up taking our kiddos out for some family fun.  We had received a gift card to the Gateway Discovery Museum for Christmas so we packed up the kids and went.  We decided to take the Trax Line.  Tali thought it was the coolest thing ever to ride the "train."
 Tali was so excited to spend the day with Daddy....
 Jairus obviously didn't care much.
 Tali was just dancing with excitement.  She was so funny to watch.
 When we finally got on the Trax, she kept looking at me with the biggest smile.  She felt pretty special to take the Trax.  It was really nice for us because we didn't have to worry about parking downtown.

When we got to the museum, we went to put the bracelet thing on her and she started FREAKING OUT!  I noticed that we needed to change her bumb, so I took her into the bathroom and she was throwing the BIGGEST tantrum.  It was all because of the bracelet.  I was so incredibly embarrassed.  She was screaming like we were beating her or something.  I had to apologize to the people in the bathroom and tell them that she wasn't normally like that.  When she FINALLY calmed down, she had the time of her life!  There was so much to do, but we had to kind of hurry because Brian had to get home and go to bed.
 She really liked playing in this hut.  Mainly because no one was in there.  It was really packed when we went.
 Here's Tali just chillin' out on the sofa that was in the little hut.
 Even though Jairus was too little to do much, he still enjoyed hanging out with Daddy.
 I love my boys!
 Tali and Jairus liked being on this seahorse teeter-totter together. 
 I was kind of surprised that Tali was kind of afraid of being on this horse.  We just had her on it long enough for a picture.
 Here she is sleeping on the job! :)

Since we hardly ever go downtown, Brian and I thought it would be fun to go to the Clark Planetarium.  I think Tali may have been done for the day.  I told her she was on Mars, but she wasn't convinced.
 Her expression in this photo makes me laugh!
  I really thought she'd like being on the "moon," but again, she was less than impressed.
In her defense, it was her nap time.  We had fun though.

Well, you're two steps ahead of me. We've never been to either place. My children will not be looking at your post because they will BEG ME to take them there. :) : ): )

Maybe we'll have to land somewhere for nap time before we go to the moon again. :)

FUN DAY! We've been to the children's museum (and LOVE it), but not to the planitarium. And I've never taken the girls on the Trax. Maybe I should. They'd love it.
