A Day at the Museum!

The girls and I took some time in the last two weeks to visit two local museums. The Denver Children's Museum was very cool - much like Wonderscope in KC. Millie and Ruby spent most of their time in the art area, grocery/restaurant area, and the nature center. They had this great climbing structure that resembled rabbit holes and bear dens. Millie and Ruby even got to dress the part of some of the woodland animals. Ruby invited herself into a game of tag with some other kids and she had a blast. She loves making friends (even when the other kids aren't really looking for a relationship!). It is so cute...but often heartbreaking when she doesn't get a warm greeting. These kids in particular where super nice to her. Millie is more cautious and independent - she doesn't need anyone else to make fun for her!

The Denver Museum of Science and Nature was my favorite. I am sorry to say that the dusty old animals at the Kansas History Museum doesn't hold a candle to all the cool exhibits here (remember I am a KU fan...but I can not tell a lie)! Animals from every continent, gems/minerals, space exhibits, Native American culture...so many things we couldn't possibly do it all in one day. There were also a ton of dinosaur bones - we even talked to one of the volunteers that clean the bones and he showed us a few. You could see the bite marks on the one bone - amazing to think that something that old still exists. The girls loved the Discovery Zone, a place for kids to explore different stations (bubbles, puzzles, building, etc.). Add the fact that it was FREE day and you couldn't ask for much more!

Housing update: we are off to see more houses this afternoon - we found a really nice one yesterday that we are seeing again today. Keeping our fingers crossed that we can settle on something soon!
