Weekend of Fun

These photos are actually from quite a while ago. Jason had a super busy (busier than normal) month and when we found out he had Labor Day weekend off, we decided to make it a "weekend of fun." I was in need of both making and having plans and we were all in need of some stress-free fun.

We started out our WOF by going out to dinner. We went to a really fun restaurant with kind of a Rainforest Cafe type atmosphere and they have live shows with high-divers and music and lights and things, Allary was totally enthralled. I don't know why I didn't take any pictures.

Then Saturday, we went to the Museum of Ancient Life.


This is the erosion table, Allary's favorite part of the museum. Even Dad had to get in there and help her with her terraforming.



I was trying to get photos of the big dinosaurs in the background of these next two photos, but they turned out pretty dark. Oh well, they are still cute photos I think.



Allary was afraid to crawl through this small tunnel, unsure of what she would find in there...
So Dad convinced her to brave it out. I love her face and how she is clinging on to him. :)

Digging for dinosaur bones.


After the museum, we got lunch and then spent the rest of the afternoon shopping at IKEA, where we spoiled ourselves with a few new items. Then we met up with my siblings and went out to dinner. Great fun.
Sunday, we relaxed and ate good food and watched movies.
Then Monday, we headed out for another day of fun. Allary has really been into space and astronauts and spaceships lately and so we took her to the Planetarium.

I love the excitement on her face. She's been telling me that she is going to be an astronaut when she grows up. But, she is not going to wear those white or orange space suits, her's is going to be pink and purple. :)

Here she is being a weather-girl. She is watching herself on the tv monitor.

And here she is exploring the landscape of the moon...

and of Mars.

I love this photo. I left the red-eye there, I think it makes her look more Mars-ish. What a cute little martian. :)

That night we came home and had another good dinner and watched a movie together. It was such a great weekend.
I will post photos of Allary's fun birthday celebration soon.
