Desert Museum

We were able to head up to the Desert Museum up in Tucson as part of our spring break festivities. We went with some friends (trips like this are always better with friends). The kids had a great time! Seth even got car sick on the ride up there. In fact, the last time we went I was the one holding my head out the window in hopes that I wouldn't puke in the car. But he was fine as soon as we made it to our destination.
It was nice and warm but not ridiculously hot (thank goodness). Some of the animals were out and there were tons of people. I think everyone had a great time! I really enjoyed it. Even Bronwyn had fun. Well as much fun as you can at 3 months old! After the museum we went to cici's pizza for a late lunch/early dinner and ate until we couldn't eat any more (there goes my diet). I haven't had CiCi's pizza in MANY years. It was really good. I highly recommend the mac n cheese pizza! Fab.u.lous!
Here are some of the pictures from our fabulous day!!

at the entrance

this guy was walking around at the entrance talking to all of us waiting in the ridiculously long line. Someone else was walking around with Hedwig (at least that's what the owl looked like to me-yes I am a dork, haha).

she was this happy for most of the day-even managed to take a nap!

sunscreen for the kiddies, i still got sunburned. oh well.

right in the middle of the picture is a hummingbird sitting on her nest.

Keegan stayed with Connor and Colin the whole time.

yes the lizard at the top of that rock was very much alive. I'm telling you I seriously thought it was scoping which one of us to take out. I didn't stick around long enough to find out-just long enough to take his picture.

bat girl-hahaha!

seth took this picture

air conditioning and some good pizza! huzzah!!

The downside to our day was the drive home. We had to take the scenic route. Driving to Tucson is painful enough, but the long way home we took was torture. I swear I lost a year of my life on that road. We saw an accident on the way up that had traffic backed up for over 6 miles. I was positive it would have been cleaned up by the time we were to head home (we left at 9am and we didn't head home until after 5pm). Well my friend called from the road saying that the highway was still closed and that I would need to take an alternate route or risk sitting in traffic all night. That was NOT appetizing to me at all so we took the scenic route. Took us 2 hours to get home.....and we were out in the middle of no where. Ug....oh well. Got a real pretty view of the moon, and the kids were terribly patient so that was a HUGE relief. They watched a movie and just let the world pass them by. By the time we got home at 730p we were all tired of being in the truck and ready to relax. It was a wonderful day (I even got sunburned) and probably the highlight of our spring break.
