New Museum

We decided to buy an annual membership to Thanksgiving Point due to the opening of the new Museum of Natural Curiosity. The kids got to go twice in the first 3 days the museum was open. We finally found a time that I could go with them--we picked an early Friday afternoon since I am working four tens during the summer. They were excited to give mom a tour.

The first thing they wanted to show me was the scale that shows their weight and then your weight in animals...



Yep, Kaden is 10 lbs. lighter than his twin sister.  Crazy! I know, right?!?

The infamous rock wall on the Thanksgiving Point commercials.


The exercise bike that showed how long you have to bike to burn off a glass of milk or a piece of pizza.

The kids also enjoyed the theater where they could dress up and perform.




Kaden loved the train cars.

Enjoying a nice swing on the outdoor playground.

The master builder using a medium other than Lego for a change!
They also go to make something out of clay and fire it in the kiln. 

The kids had a blast and tell me they want to go to the museum every day. While we could theoretically with our annual pass I suggested once a week or a couple times a month (as well as rotating with the dinosaur museum, farm country and gardens) might be more reasonable.
