Out and About

It was a really nice day in Tucson today. The kids were itching to get out so we packed them up and off we went.

We have an annual pass to the Children's science museum in Oregon but that pass allows us to visit many museums all over the US. There are a couple here in our area that we can visit with that pass. Not bad.

We visited the International Wildlife Museum. We are such a nerdy family, we love museums, observatories and any type of garden

They love that we always stop to have a treat

Well, this week Sophie had an accident on the playground. She fell on the slide and broke her leg :(

She's so proud of her cast. Hahaha. She asked for a purple one.


We did some sight seeing and found a cool little Old West park called the Pinnacle Peak. Its really cute, they have a  Little Western Town complete with a train ride and carousel. I had so much fun taking pictures there. I gotta go back and take the girls in their cowgirl boots :)
