Yup I hear that all the time!
I think it is the anthem of summer in our house.
I have tons of puzzles, games, cards, art supplies, a baby pool, bikes, scooters, tennis rackets, balls, water guns,a newly put up play set, even a wagon but there is nothing fun to do at our house.
EVER!

So I had heard of this museum in the hoity toity super expensive boarding school in the next city over. The mom's who had been there said it was great. I figured even if it stunk that at least the munchkins were on an adventure so...
We were off to the Raymond M. Alf Museum.
My kids were not impressed at first glance here. They thought the school grounds were okay (yeah for an average Americans entire yearly paycheck per student per year the grounds they thought were okay) and that the building was projecting that this was going to be a major dud on the mom's adventures list. I tried to explain to them that this is so amazing to be here. This is a school where there are real artifacts, real dinosaur bones and tracks! This place would be cool.
They did not believe it.
They soon admitted that they were wrong.
Ha ha!
Here is Becca in the kid friendly part of the museum where she is discovering tracks that animals made. She got to make a page with stamps of the tracks. There were dinosaur sounds going on, videos on the gentleman who found all of these bones and tracks, there were tons of hands on learn about paleontology stations all over. It was great!
Belle and Michael Jr are checking out the Bear Cat. They actually are weird looking and used to live right here in our area. Eww!
This is one of the students reports.
Pretty cool.
Remember this is a school up to 12th grade so it really is amazing.
Aimee and Michael Jr shaking hands (sort of ) with a dino. Look how small my munchkins are next to that bunch of beastly bones!
Michael Jr next to a giant alligator skull.
Better make sure that room of yours is clean, don't want to find one of those under your bed!
Aimee, scared the creatures will eat her!
:)
Can you believe in a school they have such wonderful real artifacts?
This picture does no justice to how big this set of bones really is.
I am so glad we have a intelligence impaired dog instead of one of these running around our back yard! That is huge!
From my son the dinosaur lover, who originally thought that this school was okay, has discovered that the children that go to school here actually get to learn "hands on" paleontology, has decided that this is where he needs to go to school.
What would life be without dreams my son?
