Science Museum of Oklahoma ~OKC

We finally made it back to the OKC Science Museum!

I think it was over a year since our last trip.

I love this kind of quiet calm area where you can sit and just watch the marble run’s.

So needed is such a huge place that is often loud.

My kids will really just sit and watch them for a long time!

We brought a friend with us so we had six kids for this trip.

So many great places to invent and explore!

Yes I take a lot of pictures if I like light.

My second oldest will just stay in one area and quietly work.

Chaos all around and he does not even twitch.

I think he could do just one thing for hours.

I was already getting tired from all the noise and people so I found a little corner to sit and take pictures while Nick helped all the children do an art project.

I am super helpful like that…

He knows so much, I love watching him explain things to the kids.

We spent so much time in CurioCity that we barely touched the other parts of the museum this time.

I am so glad that we have such an amazing museum close to us!

It is such a gift to watch kids learn and explore(while they think they are playing).

This is an Oklahoma Museum Network museum so if you buy the pass you can get into this one as well!

We are a large family so we buy a membership to the museum we will go to the most and then add on the OMN upgrade.

We end up having to buy a few tickets at each OMN museum we visit.

It is still a really good deal though.

So many great museums on that pass!

My life is sweeter with him in it.

My second oldest just turned 10 yesterday and to celebrate we went camping.

We left Friday and got back yesterday so about 5 days.

He is my walking encyclopedia of dinosaurs so we went to Dinosaur Valley State Park.

I love that he knows the creationist view on dinosaurs also.

He knows more than I do for sure.

I am always learning new facts from him.

He will play all by himself in the dirt with just a few rocks for hours.

He thinks up games to play with clouds while we drive.

He is so easy to please.

I am glad I got to see his excited smile so much the last few days.

Happy Birthday.

You make life sweeter.

Snow!

We were so happy to get surprised with snow right before Christmas!!!

It was really wet snow so the kids were able to sled and throw snowballs(the painful kind, like rocks).

I noticed that I got snow stilts after a little bit.

HA!

Little bit was sure she wanted to ride with her big brother on this part even though he thought they would run into one of those cedar trees.

She got snow all over her face and hair…

Mostly she just wanted to eat snow the whole time.

asnowDSC_8605
My kids ate plenty of dirt that day I am sure.

I love this girls happy smile.

The girls are not good at telling when they are getting a little bit cold so they wait too long to go inside or stop picking up snow.

This usually results in tears when we do go inside.

Glad we got to play in the snow in Oklahoma!

Do you get snow where you live?

Enjoy it or hate it?
