The lantern is lit!

We love living in the Fort Worth area for various reasons, but one of the many is that we have such a fantastic science museum! It has been closed for the last year and a half as they were building a new facility and adding new exhibits. Before they closed, the museum was one of the kids' most favorite places because of the dino dig, and the grocery store - complete with buggies and play food. Well, they have recently had their reopening (it was called 'Light the Lantern' because of part of the architecture of the building) and we have already visited and are set up with our family passes for the year. The kids are loving it!

This is part of an exhibit that is full of hands on experiments using air, different materials to build your own flying machines, magnets, spinning tops, light sources and the list goes on... We could have stayed in there all day!

Gibson was busy building and constructing...

In the kids zone area, they have the largest train set that I have ever seen. The kids get to put on construction gear and build tracks, drive trains and have lots of fun.

Hayden and Grace were checking out fossils and dino tracks with giant magnifying glasses.

Landry had the time of her life in the health section. They had a large ambulance, a TON of baby dolls, a hospital section complete with real X-rays and a lighted stand so that the kids can look at them.

We will be going back soon!
