Ft. Worth Museum

A couple of weekends we decided to check out the brand new museum in Ft. Worth. We bought the planetarium/museum pass for the day and had lots of learning fun! And of course, we took lots of pics(how could we not?:) The planetarium was my favorite part, but of course we don't have pictures of that, even though a little bit into the show, Ella busted out her camera to take a picture. I stopped her just in time! That would've been interesting:) So, I just LOVE planetariums. I hadn't been to one since I was a kid! I just love star gazing and learning about planets. I don't see how anyone can not absolutely know there is a God, when you see the workings of the Solar System. Everything is so perfectly lined up. There has to be a supreme being! Its always a testimony builder to me. It was the first time our kids had ever been to a planetarium. They thought it was awesome. And it opened up great conversations about earth, planets, heaven, stars, etc. on the way home.

The museum in Ft. Worth is great, lots of fun stuff for the kids. A little smaller than I was hoping, but still there is a lot to do. There is also an IMAX theater there, but we didn't do that. The building and exhibits were brand new, clean, and cool. Its organized really well and it wasn't crowded at all. Anyways, I'd recommend spending a day out that way if you live in the DFW area!

Gotta pose in front of the sign with the big alligator mouth:)

There was this experiment area where the kids made stuff and then threw them in a wind tunnel to see how far and how fast it would fly up and out. We could've stayed there all day. The kids really loved it.

Cute picture of our cute girlies

They had this fake trolley ride where you sit in a trolley and this screen next to you(through the windows) makes it look like you are riding through town in like the 1800s or something. Anyways, Aubrey thought it would be funny to get out and run between the trolley and the screen like she was chasing us. Not only did it entertain our family, it entertained others too:) Thats my girl!

Great photo op
A big ole dino. I'm glad these things are extinct. Sorry dino, but I'm pretty sure you would eat me.

In the children's area, there was a fake grocery store. This was another place the kids could've played at for hours. They had so much fun pretending. Funny how the things that excite you as a child, no longer excite you as an adult:) Grocery shopping-yea!!!

There was also a baby doll hospital that was pretty cute.

Uh oh. Baby got hurt.

This was really cool. You stood on this thing and the giraffe told you your height. I guess hes a mind-reading giraffe. Or just plain magical.

And last but not least, we had to take pictures of these cool bubble tubes. They were quite mesmorizing.

Cheese!
The museum is probably the BEST place to visit on a cold winter afternoon. Lots of indoor fun for the whole fam! We ended the day at a buffet and after stuffing our faces, we rolled ourselves home:)
