A Night at the Museum

Okay, so it was a 'day at the museum' but who's counting..... Our play date friend Griffin (and his mom) told us about this cool deal at the St. Louis History Museum - on Thursday mornings during the month of April you could sign up to be part of the "April Parent and Me Series" - basically free run of the museum with tons of kid friendly activities and a snack.   All for $20.  For the entire month.  For the whole family.  That equates to just $5 each Thursday.  Deal-e-o my friends.  Deal-e-o.  So off we went this morning and considering I was out-manned, I barely was able to capture what I could with the iPhone so cut me some slack.
Star in your own puppet show (if you know my kids, you know this kept them entertained for all of about .5 seconds - running laps in this part of the museum was apparently way cooler):
This however did keep their attention, for a bulk of the time: in the craft area, they had taped down tons of paper and the kids went barefoot (or bear-walking as Ryan calls it) and would step in ink and then paint the floor.
This week's speciality was a petting zoo.....bonus points from the Stiff gals!
Reese and her buddy Griffin taking turns (and I use the term 'taking turns' rather lightly):
And I will leave you with a duel....
