Day Six (Thursday for those keeping track on their fingers) was also doing a little bit of touristing. First though, we swam.

Owen finally decided he wanted a haircut, so he got his summer ‘do done.

(He even made it onto their Facebook page!)

We then dropped Penelope off at doggy day care again before going to the Natural History Museum to see their excellent collection of dinosaur fossils…and even took a picture of a penguin for Grandma.

After that, we stopped by Neenach to visit Cheryl (missing Crystal and family by 24 hours, boo).

We were exhausted at the end of the day, but a body’s got to eat, so we went to Marie Callendar’s for dinner. The kids’ meals came with dessert, and Eddy ordered a double cream lemon pie, which was a pretty excellent way to end the day.

 

Day Five was busy. We knew from the get go that we wanted to go to three places: the Dinosaur Museum, the Cowboy Museum and the Natural History Museum, but that we would only have two days to squeeze them in.

So,we dropped Penelope off at doggy day care (she was very worried) and headed off to the Dinosaur Museum, where, it must be said, there are not actually any dinosaurs. I can’t even count the number of times that I’ve visited the Page, and it’s always fun to take the kids somewhere that I remember going when I was little. It certainly hasn’t changed much, even the welcome video is still the same as it’s been for the past forty years!

Then, after a nice lunch at Calendar’s Grill, we went to the Cowboy Museum. There was a really interesting exhibit on Route 66. Some day I would love to drive the length of it.

(No, I’m not doing anything to Owen in this picture.)

After the museums we went back to doggy day care to pick up Penelope, and then Eddy and the kids ran off to the pool!

For dinner we went to a BBQ restaurant that we’ve been to several times before, delish. Jonah ate more than Eddy did, and nearly threw up afterwards, his stomach was so full. #CantWaitforTeenagers
