Quick Visit With Dad

After two months of having my mommy take care of me (oh and the girls too, she took care of them too), she went home. So now I have to do all my own cooking, cleaning, and Adele will have to go to a sitter :( . She left Friday; I dropped her off at the curbside check-in, said goodbye, and headed to baggage claim to meet my dad who just landed here from Phoenix.

My mom does not really do pictures, so I have no documentable proof that she was here for over sixty days. However, my father digs the camera, so one full Saturday (we went to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point) produced all of these:

Elsa and Ryan and Adele waiting to go into the museum. I think this is the standard "Elsa and Ryan pose" for pictures together.

Ryan teaching Elsa about ancient bugs.

I don't know this kid, nor could I figure out who his parents were. I doubt he knew where they were either.

This water-sand thing is supposed to be a hands-on way for kids to understand land formations and shifts. It's so gross though. All those little hands in the same vat of dirty water....ewwwwww.

This is my favorite dinosaur (triceratops). I think they were the best looking of all the dinosaurs.

Ryan feeding Elsa to the T-Rex. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Addey found the whole museum experience very exciting. She was enthralled the whole time.

Big fish, scrawny girl.

We saw one of the IMAX shows at the museum.

Adele seemed as though she would be cooperative. She was laying like this, but when the movie started she arched her body to look at it, and she actually turned her head and watched the screen contentedly for about 15 minutes. Then a T-Rex roared and she screamed and screamed, so I had to take her out.

What we learned?

We can take this baby to a movie, but it better be The English Patient.
