Walker's 4th Birthday!!!

Well time to catch up on a few items. Walker had his 4th birthday at the end of September. We decided for his birthday this year we would go to the Arizona Museum of Natural History. Here is how their website describes the museum "The Arizona Museum of Natural History is your place for dinosaurs that roar and much more. The valley’s only natural history museum has the best dinosaurs in town, a history courtyard where visitors pan for gold, a native peoples’ gallery includes a replica village and pottery. Where else can you enjoy a cool indoor waterfall? Three changing exhibition galleries offer a variety of interesting subjects." Walker is a total nut about dinosaurs especially the T-Rex so this was a perfect fit for him. Grammie and Grumpy met us there and we started exploring! We didn't get alot of pics because we were busy chasing wild animals....oh I mean our children!

There was alot of fun things to do and see. They had an exhibit on "POOP"! Here's what they say about it "Visit the museum and become a Poop Scene Investigator (PSI) and figure out which animal did the odoriferous deed! PSI: Poop Scene Investigation!It has many names: scat, droppings, feces, dung, stool, road apples, number two, pellets, caca, and manure but poop is poop any way you say it. Explore poop’s fascinating journey – from its beginnings to the variety of ways both animals and humans use it. Of course the boys found this to be SOOOO funny! Not really my favorite part but hey boys are easily entertained!

They also have the panning for gold outside and Cooper was in heaven! He could of stayed there for hours. Coop and Papa Fred were really going at it looking for "GOLD". They have pyrite flakes in the sandy water so you really can find something. I told him about when I was younger my dad actually often took us out in the Superstition Mountains and we really panned for gold. He was intrigued by this. I told him he should get Grumpy to take him sometime and he was thrilled with the thought of it but sadly Grumpy was not to thrilled!LOL


After the Museum fun we all went to dinner and of course where does Walker want to eat but at his favorite restaurant...Barros! So we enjoyed a fun afternoon and evening with learning new things,see exciting stuff and good company. We had a nice surprise when ordering our pizza one of Rob's really good friends (he only has two) that we hadn't seen in ages happened to come in for pizza so Rob and Devin were able to visit and catch up some. So it was really an evening we all enjoyed. We had cupcakes and ice cream and presents at home and of course no pics were taken then. I need to fire our personal photographers they suck!! Happy Birthday Walker! So we must end this post with a pic of Kenna just because I want too!
