Groundhog Day happened to fall on election day. With the schools being used as polling places, we got yet another day off of school. So...off to the free museum we went with some friends. We decided on the Field Museum of Natural History. Sue, the dinosaur is always a hit! Plus, this year we got our own archeologist to give us a 30 minutes lesson on dinosaurs, birds, and reptiles and their relationships. He was terrific! This is something you don't get on free days in the summer. Lizzie loves elephants and thought these were great because they don't move, make noises, or stink. :)
In the picture below, the kids thought the tar was quite interesting. Don't ask me how, but Emma was turning and pumping it so much that she actually got some on her hands...and wiped them on her jeans, of course!
Braxton wanted to see how he compared with a thigh bone. Evan was always ready for a photo opportunity. He cracked me up. He is this photogenic in every picture on this day!
Emma loved the noise that we think parasaurolophus makes.
Alyssa Stradling didn't quite know what to think of the whole day. She's always pondering deep thoughts--or at least wants to look like she is. I love this cutie!
This is a bed the Egyptians typically used. Every child has to try it out. This was Lizzie's turn.
Carter and Andrew were caught having way too much fun in this section of the museum. Is this even allowed? 
My cute barnacles...
Emma and Hailey looking cute as usual.
As soon as we returned home, the kids ran to get their pj's on to go to a "Backwards day" at another friend's home. We had breakfast for dinner and the kids watched movies while we moms chatted. Fun! Fun! I guess I'm grateful for days off of school, too.
