History!

We decided to go to the American Museum of Natural History today. This place was HUGE!!! It had four floors with a ton of exhibits on each floor. Needless to say, we only got through 1 1/2 floors before everyone was ready to go. It had been pouring rain and really cold and so when the rain finally let up it was good to get out.

Everyone was pretty excited to see the dinosaurs so we went and checked those out first.

Kaley absolutely loved the museum which surprised me a little considering most kids her age would probably be bored. There was a room that was showing a movie that had something to do with organisms and, seeing there was a movie, Kaley decided she wanted to sit and watch. Of course I thought that as soon as she figured out what she was watching she would not be interested anymore. Boy was I wrong! She stayed and watched it like it was the most interesting thing she had ever seen. She kept leaning over to me and saying "Did you hear what she (the narrator) said!? She said......" and she would try to repeat what she had just heard. It was so funny! It took a little convincing to get her to go to the next exhibit. She might have stayed there all day. :) She loved it all. As we were walking out of dinner later that night she said "I love the museum! It was fun!" Who knew?!

Tyler liked seeing the dinosaurs. He did ok at the museum. He wanted to be running around, but that got tricky since there were a TON of people and he kept running off. He ended up being a trooper and staying in the stoller for a good part of the time though. This was when we first got there and he was still free and loving it. :)

Richard told Kaley to go up to the dinosaur and roar at it. She got pretty into it.

This was an amazingly gigantic jelly fish. The picture doesn't really do the size justice...

Huge tree trunk!

This is how much I would weigh on Halley's Comet. Not even a pound...loved that. :)

This is how much Richard would weigh on the sun... 3,738lbs! Wow!

This was dinner. New York style pizza!!! Yum!!! And of course we folded the slices as we ate them.

After the museum we walked around for a little bit. It was interesting to see all shops and restaraunts. The entrances are all so small, but once you walked in it was a different story. As we were walking we stopped a couple and asked where they would recommend we ate. This was where they suggested and that it would be a place that would be more kid friendly than some places. They were actually headed there themselves and we ended up being seated right next to them.
