Children's Museum of Dallas

Today Mommy, Jackson, Grayson, and Nana Jo went to a "very, very, very fun place"--the Children's Museum in downtown Dallas. Actually, it is the Science and Nature Museum but there was a children's exhibit upstairs that featured all the places in a child's world--his home, playground, the farm, etc. Here is Grayson just looking calm and cute in his PJs before we got him dressed and in the car. He slept through most of the museum.
Jackson got to push the earthquake button and feel what happens. There was also a tornado machine that swirled balls in a funnel cloud. This was all in the science and nature portion before we got to the children's part.
This is Meaghan, Grayson and Jackson's heat profile on the thermal readout TV.
The farm section was really cute with lots of animals (not real, of course). Meaghan and Jackson had a horse race, but I don't think anyone actually won .
This was a life-size cow that could be milked. Jackson didn't hesitate one bit, just sat on the stool, reached for the udders and started squirting milk (water) in the bucket.
The next area had lots of chickens sitting on nests, so we had Jackson check for eggs. As soon as he reached into the hay and pulled out an egg, the hen started clucking. It startled him and he quickly put the egg right back!

There were lots of other cute things that we did at the Museum, but my camera told me the battery was "exhausted" (like the rest of us), so the other pictures are on Meaghan's camera. I am recharging my batteries and will be ready to capture those Kodak moments tomorrow.
