Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas

We went to the Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas. It was sooooo awesome and lots of hands on learning!



They had costumes to assist in the learning!


Silly hats!


Live snakes!



Musical instruments for the kids to use!



More dress up fun! There was an alarm that they set off and everything!




There was a model rocket launch and Jake got to push the button!!!! He was so excited!

Great action shot! Look closely and you will see the blue rocket!



This was a model of a 5 year old Ethiopian child. Look how much smaller it is than Jake! Crazy! Americans are huge!


Did you know that a sneeze comes out of your nose at 100 mph? I didn't! This was so cool. You pushed a button and the giant nose sneezed out at 100 mph.


This was soooo much fun!




Mommy and Jake getting in on the action!


Wow!!!! There was even a dino dig!

He couldn't stand it!



Some silly things Jake's said lately...

Jake was watching Sesame Street when he looks at me, hands in the air, furrowed brows and asks, "Excuse me, but why does he like cookies soooo much?"

I was putting Jake to bed and he wanted to 'read' his books after I left the room. I said that he needed to just go to sleep and he started arguing and asking why, when I said "Enough Jake, I don't want to hear the word book again." So he looks at me and says "Buck!" Man, is he testing me or what!?

We went to the Museum of Nature and Science and there was a 3d model of a beating heart. Later we were talking about how that's what his heart looks like. He asks "But our hearts aren't squishy..." I tell him that yes, they are squishy, that's how they work. He responds, "NO! I don't like squishy hearts!" He was really creeped out about it!!!
