Perot Museum with Third Grade

The third grade has waited all year long to go on their field trip.  Finally, the day had come and we all arrived at the Perot Museum in Dallas.  The kids had to eat a super-early lunch at 10:15 am, because no food is allowed inside.  After their brunch, the shenanigans began!

At first, just Jackson was on the frog, but then Corbin and Tucker hopped on his back.

About .5 seconds later, here came Ben, Caleb, Mohammed and some random kiddo.  They're crazy!  I was a little scared!

Never fear, though. Our group of four boys was fantastic!  They checked out the space room...

then we moved over to the dinosaur room. Very cool stuff in there.

All the boys were captivated with the fossils...

but this big guy was probably the most impressive!

The Age of Giants was amazing, too, with this enormous mammoth being the coolest.

I'm so thankful that this kid is mine!  He listened well, stayed with the group, and encouraged his friends to do the same.

On another floor we found the remote control cars...

and the kids thought this energy ticker was pretty neat, too.

The bottom floor was their favorite, though!  This is what happens when you ask 7 boys to take a photo.  Mayhem!  They were waiting in line to be videoed doing their favorite sport.

Jackson chose to throw a football and be compared to Roger Staubach.  He got to look at how he stacks up to the old Cowboys quarterback.  

Thumbs up for sure! This kid may have a future in the NFL.  

 

The last part of the day was spent racing different animals and people.  Ben and Jackson opted out of racing a tyrannosaurus rex and instead chose a soccer player.

On your mark.  Get set.

GO!!!  The boys raced three times and then we had to call it quits.

Three hours had zoomed by and it was time for all of the moms to round up their groups.

A fun day for Jackson and his mama, for sure.  Love this boy.
