It was pretty cool. To top it all off, there was a traveling exhibit there. Take a wild guess what it was... HOT WHEELS CARS! Jack could not have been more thrilled. He was so excited, he didn't even know what to do with himself. Cars are kind of his thing lately.
There are even a special anniversary car on display that was made of 12K gold, had like 30,000 diamonds on it, and rubies for the tail lights. Now that's my kind of hot wheels car.
There was a little loud engine revving noise that went off every few seconds in the exhibit, and every time it went off, Charlie would throw his hands in the air and get a really surprised look on his face. I don't think he liked the car room as much as Jack did.
We also went into the Egypt exhibit...
...and the Children's play area where we met a bear, saw a tractor, and played in the sand...
...and Gordy took Jack into see the National Geographic exhibit while I was feeding Charlie.
Meanwhile, Charlie just slept contently in the stroller. A few times he opened his eyes, quietly looked around, and decided it was too boring and went back to sleep. He is such a good baby. We didn't hear a peep from him all day, not even on the hour drive there or back.
On the way home, I sat in the back with the boys to make sure they were both comfortable enough to fall asleep. It only took a few minutes before both of the boys were completely out. Sitting in the back seat between my two sleeping boys was one of those moments where my heart was so full I could cry. I love being blessed with those unexpected moments of pure joy. It's what makes parenting worth all of the hard work and long hours.
