Chris again

Today we went to the Science Center so that our children could see the t-rex exhibit.  The process goes like this... go to bank and take a second mortgage on your home so that you can pay for the parking, drive to the museum, realize that you have no diaper bag.  What a rookie mistake!  No diaper bag?!?!  Come on, we are in our 41st month of parenting, have we learned nothing?!?!? 

So we knew going in that this would be a quick trip.  Between the van and the restroom, we asked Toby approximately 381 times whether or not he had peed his pants.  Thankfully he did not.  We got in line, bought our tickets and in we went.  Toby loved it.  He went to every t-rex exhibit they had there.  This all took approximately 6 minutes.  Which average about $68 per minute for the trip.  Abby on the other hand was less than thrilled with the large dinosaurs.  And by that I mean that she would have preferred to have been throw from our van, while it was moving, while having her hair combed, and eating broccoli all at the same time, as opposed to being taken within 100 yards of Sue the t-rex.  Abby's apparent dislike for animals that could swallow her whole, combined with us having no diaper bag, and the boy having finished touring museum in less time than it took for us to buy the tickets... all of this meant we were back home pretty quickly.  So the moral of the story is never leave the house.... at least not with the children.
