Planetarium, Picnic and Zoo

Yesterday was a very busy day. We started at the planetarium and we weren't sure if the girls would really enjoy it or not. Luckily....they absolutely LOVED it. Kadence loved looking at all of the planets, stars and moon. Shelby liked running as far away from us as quick as she could.

The Clark Planetarium has a Mars exhibit that looks like....well Mars. The kids are allowed to climb on the rocks and explore. There is even a sign that says 'these are real rocks and they are real hard' to warn parents that they aren't pretend rocks.

Kadence thought the spacesuit was pretty funny. She kept running over to look at it.

Like the Mars exhibit, they had a moon exhibit complete with footprints from a space shoe. I think we spent the most time running back and forth from Mars to the moon.

Kadence on the moon.

Shelby on the moon. She actually moon walked on the moon too which had David and I laughing.

After the planetarium we headed to the park for a picnic. I couldn't imagine eating in the zoo with Shelby running all over.

Shelby managed to find the only place in the whole park where there was some water.....Of course!

We were welcomed to the zoo by protesters.


They had volunteers all over showing us different animal skins. Kadence and Shelby both touched the coyote pelt.

The girls loved the waterfall in the Madagascar exhibit.

We had to go to the drinking fountain for their picture with the lion....Kadence took a drink

And Shelby played in the water.

On our way out we let them play with the giant ball fountain

I think this was Shelbys favorite part of the whole zoo!

We finished the day with Chinese and dippin dots.
