Dusty and I took the kids to the Minnesota Science Museum for one last day of family fun. Except, it wasn't so fun. I had caught the kids cold while we were in the Dells, so my energy levels were low. Dusty did not sleep well while we were in the Dells, so his energy levels were low. Max and Rory were used to having a little more independence at the water parks where things were open and we could see them; at the museum where there were exhibits and various other objects obstructing our view, this wasn't allowed yet constantly tested or forgotten. Not our best parenting moments. Of course, we still made the best out of it and I have photos to prove it!

What in the world are they doing?

Oh, just checking themselves out on their news broadcast! (Along with some other random kid and his mom. Hey!)

Daddy showing Max how the gears work. Yes, he even put him on top of the exhibit so he could follow along better.

This ball thing? Probably one of the most popular exhibits there. It was cool to watch the kids and Daddy play with it, but it was a pain waiting for our turns only to feel like we had to rush!

We found these blocks in a small room off of an exhibit and let the kids go to town building for quite some time. We all needed a little time out from the tantrums, crowds and everything else I listed above. Thankfully we were left undisturbed for most of the time they were building.

Yes, this photo makes me giggle every time.

We attempted to build a dinosaur. By attempted, we moved three pieces and the kids were ready to move on. Oh well!

I don't think we'll be going back to the Science Museum again soon. At least not until the kids can read and are able to better appreciate the exhibits, it was just a bit too advanced for them. Which is fine, there are plenty of other museums and zoos we can check out!
