With Santa Claus checked off the list, our goal for Day Two was to find dinosaur bones (#familytravel). Nory has been interested in dinosaurs since the summer and so the phrase "dinosaur bones" got her moving at times when she would rather say NO. Here are some pictures of the day's adventures:
^^^ Our first stop was the Chapel of Silence in the downtown core. Anyone can go in if they need to escape from the chaos of life and just take a minute to themselves. Well, after some serious hesitation at the front entrance, the lady working there finally said, "BRING IN THE CHILDREN! It's FINE!" And so with fingers crossed we went inside and....GUESS WHAT?! Nory didn't say a PEEP!!! That being said, the minute we walked out of the chapel she exclaimed, "THAT WAS NOT DINOSAUR BONES!!!!"
^^^ The Museum of Natural History must have known we were coming because they put the dinosaur bones RIGHT SMACK by the entrance! Nory was thrilled to be able to touch some of the bones (three cheers for interactive exhibits!) and she was just as thrilled to see bones of ALL SORTS. I strongly dislike MOST museums, but Nory has PERHAPS changed my viewpoint on them...
^^^ The excitement continued once we stumbled upon the wooly mammoths! I love Nory's excitement and all of her jumping up and down :) Jettie was happy to clean the museum floors with her fleecy peach pants ;)
^^^ The museum appealed to Juliet too, with all of the ground exhibits :) In the bottom left picture, Nory is trying to trap creatures using the round pool noodle. Juliet survived all of the extreme swatting like a pro! In the bottom right picture, both girls are crawling through a "snow tunnel".
^^^ A picture of the sunset on our walk home...at 3 p.m. :) It's SO STRANGE having only 6 hours of daylight, but it means we can always catch both the sunrise and sunset :)
^^^ Nory playing peek-a-boo with Jet before bed. In matching jammies, of course :)
