North Carolina

We traded in our van just in time to take a trip.

Andy was sent to North Carolina for a week of training and of course my mind screamed "FIELD TRIP"!

We had a great time.  On the 1st day the kids and I headed to the Natural Science Museum and the Natural History Museum.

They really got into the boards.

 We watched a 3D video about dinosaurs

and then we wandered through the exhibits on dinosaurs.

Lu was thrilled she had brought her goggles with her so she could swim through this exhibit.

Jake looking at a bee head

Ever wondered what she would look like as a bee.

The 2nd day on our trip we went to Marbles.  It is a KIDS museum

Giant Connect Four

Bouncing in the ocean

Some science experiments

They built race cars to see who's was fastest.

Marble tracks

And of course art for the artists.

Soccer

Basketball

Geography

Fitness room

Hockey

Jake really enjoyed the hockey

Lu waiting for the pig to drop more balls.

On the 3rd day we went to Pullen Park

And no family trip would be complete without making them earn their keep.

Look at that concentration

And of course the hotel had a gym and indoor pool so we were there a LOT.
