Track Out

Whew!  We've had a busy track out so far for the past 2 weeks.  Only one more week to go.  We've gone to the splash park a few times, Monkey Joes, swimming, Addison had a grammy sleepover, Jordan Lake day to play in the sand and swim in the lake, Marbles Kids Museum and then yesterday we went to the Durham Life and Science Museum.  I don't have a ton of pictures because we've done mostly everything before so I didn't bring the camera to a lot of places.  I did take a bunch yesterday though and we had so much fun.  My friend has an annual pass with a few extra passes so it was even free!  They have so much to do there that we were there for about 7 hours and we didn't even do everything.  

They have a great butterfly garden with all sorts of different butterflies and plants.  It's really, really beautiful.

Addison was trying so hard to catch one.  She just wanted to hold one so bad.  

My friend Tami must have a magic way with butterflies because she seems to catch one every time.  She caught one and gave it to Addison.  She was so happy about it and is still talking about it today.

My cutie pie boy

Cooper wanted to hold one but wouldn't actually touch it so he was content to just hold the branch.

They have a trail with a bunch of dinosaurs to see.  Cooper especially loved it and the kids loved climbing on this one.

Cooper tried to climb it but just couldn't.  He was still happy to play on it though!

They have a giant "dinosaur" dig site that the kids LOVED.  Addison found a shark tooth and every time they found a big rock they would bring it to me and tell me that it was a dinosaur bone.  It was cute.

The girls looking at their loot

They had this awesome misting yard that had a bunch of little hills and tunnels with mist shooting out of the ground.  This was the kids favorite thing.  They got soaking wet and filthy and had a blast.  

They also have a great playground that we didn't get to play on because it was raining a little by the time we got there and a great indoor space.  We saw a real tornado a bunch of science experiments, giant bugs, and a spaceship replica.  Addison kept saying "this is so interesting".  She especially liked using the microscope to look at the tiny, real bugs. We had a great time but I was completely exhausted by the time we were done.  These kids wear me out!
