We drove to Hays last weekend to meet Kristi, Lugene and Erin for a belated Christmas.
We got there in just under 4 hours and the kids were very good in the car. It was Christopher's first extended car ride.
Travis and the family met us there too and we went to the Sternburg Museum. It had lots of exhibits about what Kansas looked like 80 million years ago.
The kids really liked the giant snapping turtle.
This is a fossil of a 15 foot long fish that had eaten a 6 foot fish. Pretty cool.
Audrey liked the mammoth.
The three amigos.
About every 3 minutes this T-Rex turned his head and roared.
Then the kids dug for fossils.
Even Christopher participated!
And finally we went to the more kid friendly interactive area.
There was so much to do and learn. And they had a lot of animals that I forgot to take a picture of. Snakes, spiders, salamanders, more turtles.
Travis was getting a head start on Christopher's science education!
Then we opened Christmas presents back at the hotel.
Christopher needed a beer after the long day. :)
The best part of the hotel was the 2 story water slide!
We all went down a hundred times!
Audrey and Christopher loved the hot tub.
After a quick 2 days it was time to say goodbye and head home.
But not before lunch and ice cream!
