Dinosaur Museum

This weekend we made our second visit to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. The museum is really cool and has been a really popular destination since it opened late last year. To help control crowds, both members and non-members must schedule ticket times in advance. That combined with difficult downtown parking makes a trip to the museum it bit more complicated than it should be.

We haven't made it through all the exhibits yet, but the kids wanted to go back to the dinosaur and bird parts again. We also went to the children's exhibit and then watched a 3-D movie. With 3 year olds, that was enough for one morning.

However, when you head outside there's fun stuff there too. We probably spent almost as much time outside as we did in the museum. The kids played on the giant frogs for a bit and then we headed to the outdoor chimes.

Thanks to GiGi (reading the sign) everyone had a blast once we figured out how to work the gravel chime. Just like it's name, you dump gravel on it for the chime to sound. Serious fun.
