A few days ago I took the kids to the new Rio Tinto Center for the Natural History Museum of Utah. It is an amazing building and an amazing museum and I would love to say we all had a wonderful time. But the reality is I felt like a chicken running around with its head cut off. This is one of those "field trips" where I frequently found myself asking, "What was I thinking?"
Austin and Nyah are at a stage where they like to wander and take their time and read exhibits and talk with the museum volunteers and explore all the hands on sections. And then there's Olivia and Jolie who want to run from one thing to the next as fast as they can. Sophie is at the stage where she does not want to be locked up in a stroller- yelling baby gibberish and "NO", crying, red face, trying to alligator roll while strapped down- all that *lovely* drama of an 18 month old.
Seriously, what was I thinking? Maybe if I could stand in the middle of a room with my 5 eyes watching everyone?
Fortunately, for them, my kids aren't worried about my sanity and they had a fabulous time.
There are some sections of floor that are glass with items on display a couple feet below-- and they totally freaked out Olivia, Jolie, and Sophie -- I confess it was amusing to watch.

Maybe I'll get Kurt to take me back sometime so I can have a fabulous time too :)
