an hour at the flight museum...

One dreary day last week i thought i would take the boys to the Love Field flight museum (hadn't been since price was a few weeks old).
i had forgotten this great indoor option. Unfortunately if you are not a member it can be a little expensive if you only stay for an hour.
Hopefully you will be able to stay longer than we did...

Of course the boys loved looking at all the airplanes. One of the sweet volunteers gave us our own personal tour of some of the planes and took us on the 'moon walk', which quade loved. The favorite part of the museum is the play area. They have a kid-size airplane that they can pretend to fly, be a passenger...

or just practice going out the emergency exit. (price's personal favorite).

There is also a flight tower that kids can climb up into. Unfortunately our trip was cut short when Quade yelled down to me "mommy i'm going peepee". To which i responded "you are going NOW or you need to go?"...the answer was not what i wanted to hear. Yes, this pregnant mommy climbed up the flight tower with a huge wad of paper towels to clean up a nice puddle of pee. Fortunately none of the pee landed on the poor unsuspecting boy who was climbing up the tower at the time of the "incident".

Don't worry the picture of the tower was taken before the "incident".
My advice if you go to the flight museum...make sure to take your preschooler to the bathroom before you go to the play area.
Oh, and if your preschooler should have an accident and you are cleaning it up in the bathroom, keep an eye on your toddler. You may discover him playing in the public toilet with his pacifer hanging in the dirty toilet water...i'm just saying.=)

Not to be beat down by such a horrible day, we returned to the flight museum a week later with my receipt and used the money i had spent toward getting a membership. With 2 boys (and possibly a 3rd...we'll find out soon), we will definitely be back to look at all these big planes!
