Black Friday - No Shopping

I was good this year and purchased Christmas presents all before Thanksgiving (most before Halloween), so Black Friday wasn't a day of running to get to the best sale possible, but a great family outing. We were up in Chicago for Thanksgiving, so we went to the Field museum on Friday. It was a lot of fun to see the kids enjoying themselves.

You may notice that Dallin isn't with the other kids. He was in the baby corral when the other pictures were being taken. Believe it or not, he really was happy there with the other babies:

We were at the Field museum for the majority of the day (from 11am to 3pm) and only saw part of the bottom floor of the museum. It's HUGE! I have since learnt that we can get a membership at a kids museum down here (Bloomington, so a little south of us) and it will cover the Field museum as well as the Museum of Science and Industry. Looks like we will be taking some three day weekend trips up to visit Auntie Barbara and Uncle Greg more regularly!

Looks like a fun day!
We still have to finish the museum of science and industry. Can't dawdle if you want to get it all done, I guess! "No kids! Stop having fun with that, we need to move on!"

Ok- so this is sad, but I was like- who is the little girls in the pictures with the boys? I totally still expected Annie to be a baby! That is so insane! She is beautiful! I can't believe how big your kids are getting now! I'm glad you sent us the Christmas card so I could see your blog! You can check ours out at kmcarey.blogspot.com

My boys love museums! They loved the military ones down town around circle center. Especially the civil war memorial under the circle monument.
