Dinosaurs!

We took Claire to the Witte Museum a few Saturdays ago to check out the new exhibit, Dinosaurs Unearthed. She's been on a real dino kick lately and couldn't wait to get there. Well, until we actually got there. It was a bit of a surprise for everybody that a gigantic moving and roaring velociraptor would greet us and appear to make a move to eat Grandpa. Claire quickly decided that this would be a much safer place to be:

We moved by the raptor and investigated some less scary dino parts--bones, eggs, that sort of thing. Then we turned the corner to this:
Which prompted this:
And she didn't leave his chest until we made it to the end. Luckily, things perked up there. She and Grandma joined in on a little archaelogical dig and discovered all sorts of interesting things:
Then we headed over to the Treehouse, where we all played with the toys showing scientific principles. Here's our Bernoulli experiment:
And one of me (and Madeleine's head) trying to get in a picture, since I'm usually the one behind the camera:
After we finished at the museum, we all drove up to New Braunfels and enjoyed a wine and food event along the river with Aunt Jamey and Uncle Jeff.
Unfortunately, the girls were pretty worn out after the busy morning, so we couldn't stay long. And, believe it or not, Claire asks all the time when we can go back to the museum and see the dinosaurs. I think we'll wait a few more years, though.
