Family Day in Dallas

On Saturday we loaded up the minivan and took our littles to downtown Dallas. We took advantage of the Bank of America Museums on Us program to get in FREE to the Perot Museum. If you are a BOA member, you should look into this! They have deals with museums all across the country!

Eva kept asking us if there would be a snake there. We told her we weren't sure but sure enough, that was the first thing we saw when we walked into the children's area on the lowest level. 

Her favorite activity of the whole museum was the water table. She played there for a long time, and at the end of the day begged us to go back downstairs so she could play some more. 

She also loved the construction site area where she could put a foam brick on a conveyor belt and use a wheel to raise it up to the next level. 

 View from the top - my sweet construction worker :)

Then she wanted to create some art. 

Next she played with the food at the farmer's market stand. 

Ryan and I liked the dinosaur area. Nothing makes you feel dumb like trying to explain science things - like dinosaurs, planets, and energy - to your three year old.

Hahaha, I like this photo of Ryan building and Eva kissing her little buddy. That's how much she adores him.

Learning about the science of wind. Something else that is hard to explain. 

After the museum we decided to walk over to Klyde Warren Park. We got some yummy lunch from the food trucks. This was our first time there and it was really fun, although very hot and crowded on a Saturday.

Smart mama had thought ahead to pack her swimsuit just in case we wondered over to the park after the museum. I didn't know what there water area looked like but knew they had something. Glad I did! 

No swimsuit for the little man. Just a diaper and a smile!

Climbing around and pretending to be Tarzan.

Walking back to the car. I love seeing them talk to each other in the stroller. We love our sit and stand stroller!

Spur of the moment we also decided to go to Ryan's parents. His grandmother was in town and she really wanted to see the kids. This was Jensen's first time to visit Nana's house!

Also on a whim it worked for the whole family to go out and celebrate our nieces birthday. Happy 9th Birthday, Kiersi! We ended the night with some delicious Texas Roadhouse and family time.
