Field Day

An AM kindergarten field trip = no PM class for Kate + a free day at the Field Museum = a trip to the city and something, because of Kate's school schedule, we rarely get to do.

The math details in that equation are kind of hazy so try not to analyze them too much.
With our last failed attempt to take advantage of a free day, I was a little skeptical that we would be so lucky to have the free day fall on Kate's field trip day, but to my surprise, it all worked out.

Here are some pics...

Kate's new cross-eyed trick that she loves to do for pictures. 
We haven't told her yet, but she has been doing that trick ever since she was born when she sleeps.

Sam admiring a replica of an Indian village.
 I forgot how cool those kind of things are to kids, they stopped and looked at each one very intently.

The main reason Ryan was stoked to go, the exhibit about the Maharaja.

Taking pictures on the steps. 
The outside of this museum is so rad, you've got to take a picture.


The kids on the drive to the museum. 
For historical accuracy, about five minutes before this they were fighting and Sam bit Kate's face. First of all, who bites faces? But that is beside the point. Sam said sorry and later an "I love you, Kate" was said and then soon after we turned to see this sweet compromise. 

These two get on each others nerves so easily but they forgive so easily too, it's a constant roller coaster at our house. Let's just hope they can forgive this easily later.

My favorite things all in one, going to a museum or on any day trip adventure with my family, seeing my kids be buddies and being able to capture it for just that quick moment.

It makes life so worth it.
