More fun than we could stand

Today was one of those days when we packed as much fun as we could into one day and it worked.

We had a grand time. Me, Hot Rod and Stinkerbelle met my mom at the museum. We had planned on going to the butterfly garden, but that didn't come to fruition. Instead, we saw a sign for a dog show at the nearby convention center. So, instead, we moseyed on down there. Aside from the greyhound (I think that is what it was) that jumped on the baby and left a little scratch under her eye, it was great. My little girl is tough. She was somewhat scared of the dogs after that, but she braved on. She really liked the poodles for some reason. Maybe it was that their hair (in the little fluff ball style) looked a bit like hers!

Loved this shirt one lady had on:

This is the dog that jumped up on me and was looking me in the eyes. Then, it poked its face at the baby so hard that he scratched her face. She wasn't too happy with dogs after that.

Stinkerbelle liked the little Corgis in their kennels.

This was just cute, I had to take a picture.

This little dog is a Chinese something. I can't remember its breed, but I loved its name: Tira Masu. Too funny. Stinkerbelle liked the little 6-pounder much better than the others.

Hot Rod saw a fire hydrant with a chain on it and decided it was his new "pet."


Stinkerbelle loved the wind blowing in her curls.

We then headed back over to the museum where the kids enjoyed the Dino Dig area after checking out the dog show. The baby was digging the dirt. Ok, I mean she was loving playing in the sand.

Hot Rod didn't flinch when the museum docent asked him if he wanted to hold the rat snake. The skin was very soft. The docent said the snake completed the shedding process yesterday.

We saw two Imax movies today. Mystery of the Nile and The Living Sea . Both were great. Stinkerbelle napped during the Nile movie and was rejuvenated.

Now, I have put both in bed a little early and I'm ready to crash myself. We had more fun than we could stand.
