dinosaur museum

mclayne wasn't crazy about the texture of the sand at the water play area, but she eventually got into it

kylee, braiden, mclayne, + maya at the dinosaur imax movie. we thought mclayne would be fine {even after the warning that it was unsuitable for young children} afterall, she does just fine with the disney dinosaurs...well it turns out that huge 3D dinosaurs on an enormous screen with loud, scary sound effects is just a little scarier than at home....oops! it was pretty entertaining to watch her reach out to touch things and flinch when dinosaurs would "fly" into her. and luckily no phobias of dinosaurs yet...baboons yes, but that's a whole different story!

we couldn't have done it without kylee...what a lifesaver! i am sure her arms + back were feeling it the next day
and last but not least, the highlight of the day for mclayne...riding bullseye. she liked it so much she did it twice, complete with "giddy-ups" and "yee-haws"

{if anyone out there is wondering if there are still actually people that use old-school film cameras, here is proof. my mom will be the last person on earth to go digital. not that you can tell by these scans, but amazingly she gets pretty good shots with her old point-and-shoot!}
