Glen Rose / Spring Roadcation : ) Day 3

My girlfriend, Angie, and I had the brilliant idea to take this years spring break on the road. So - we did just that. We packed up our combined 5 boys and set out for Glen Rose to visit Dinosaur World and Fossil Rim Animal Park.

We started our trip by meeting at the Science Place on Wedneday. Which was a lot of fun. They all  had a great time. David and I have a membership and haven't really been since we got it. I had forgotten how awesome the Science Place is for little kids. We will definitely be going back more often.

Some photos from our day.....
Andy testing out gravity; Ben and Andy playing with huge bubble makers;
our 5 boys (Ben, Jared, Ben, Brayden, and Andy)


A kalidescope that you get in - it's 5 of Will : ); Andy in his fireman outfit. Will and Andy's favorite part was the dress-up area. It was so cute. They had a 'mock firestation' and they LOVED it.


Andy; Will; Will & Andy in the firetruck going to put out a fire : )


Will has said pretty early on that he wants to be an astronaut. He was pretty pleased to find a costume he could try on; Will climbing up the rock wall .... another one of his favorite things to do - CLIMB.


In the car - headed to Glen Rose ... well Cleburne actually - to our hotel.
Ben, Jared and Will sat in the back; and Andy and Brayden in the middle seats. Andy was pretty worn out from the science place so he took alittle nap; we stopped at Whataburger for lunch/dinner (Andy, Ben, Jared, Brayden and Will).

After eating we found a cool park near-by and decided to take the boys there to exert some energy.
Is that possible with 5 boys?
Will found a tree to climb on - he loved it - as he loves, LOVES to climb;  Will at top of tree (in red); Ben climbing up (in green) and Jared (blue stripes) and Brayden (red stripes) at the bottom.
The tree was a big hit; Andy found this wavy slide and that was his favorite.
He kept going up and down, up and down .... so fun!


The next discovery for Will was this HUGE rock. He loved it and pretty much planted himself on it; Jared and Ben on the tree


Will and Andy on the rock; Will laying on top of the rock; and laying across both rocks


I didn't take my big camera - was afraid of handling it w/the 5 boys. And my Canon G9 got broken when my husband dropped it - so I had to go back to my Sony. And for some reason the flash kept going off, the camera kept switching to manual.  Didn't notice till afterward - but that's why these pictures are a bit blown out.

After the park, we went back to the hotel and got the boys ready for bed. Once they all finally fell asleep - Angie and I were able to relax and enjoy a few drinks to un-wind from our fun - but busy day!

What's on tap for tomorrow: Fossil Rim Animal Park and Dinosaur World here we come .....
