Dallas!

During Benjamin's week long holiday break in November, we spent a bit of time in Dallas...enjoying a few places we've always wanted to take the boys:  NorthPark Mall's Train Exhibit, the Perot Nature & Science Museum, Reunion Tower, & more.

We're on vacation!  Trevin's cute little hand-me-down rolling suitcase from Hannah.

 A travelling exhibit at the Perot Museum...so fascinating.  These animals were preserved by a technique called Plastination.  It took me back to all my Biology and A&P classes.  The boys loved it.

 A sheep's circulatory system

 3-D flying like a bird...Trevin loved it.

 Engineering with Russell - building a lightweight bridge

 Bright green frogs on a very chilly day

Playing with LEGOs while Mommy shopped.

 Dallas skyline behind us, but it is too light to see very well.

 Benjamin raced against someone...can't remember who

November: Part 1

 Our special sisters!

 We loved watching this sunrise one crisp fall morning in November.  It reminded me of what we heard at convention...look eastward:  new each morning are His mercies, to new beginnings, to the eternal dawning of the endless day.

 Sometimes a magnifying glass is required for Mr. Inspector eating Grandma's rolls

 Lunch date with Daddy at Newks...yum!

All Region Orchestra Concert with Spencer.  Brought back so many memories for me!
