A fun day on Saturday! (LOTS OF PICS!!)

We went to the Heritage Museum in Bismarck and to the Dakota Zoo on Saturday June14th. We all had so much fun! Even Alyssah did well without a nap. The boys of course just loved it! It was a great day to spend together as a family.
The boys Jake-5 and Josh-8
They had a great day!
The big mammoth bones. Everything in this museum was found in North Dakota. These bones were found in the badlands, southwestern North Dakota. It was huge!!


Alyssah pointing at the buffalo. She kept saying cow.

Jake in a rush to get to the next place. He was in a hurry the whole time we were there.

The three kids on a wooden horse. Alyssah didn't want to be there, but I made them all sit there, and nobody really looked either. I tried.

This was an overview look at the Heritage Museum. The kids loved seeing things from the top!

Of course we have to get these goofy pics of the kids in these signs. Someday they will say how we always did that, I did as a kid!! I look back and think of what a dork I was though!! ;)

Alyssah was watching the otters swimming. It was sweet how she kept calling them kitties!! I loved it!!

Alyssah was afraid of the bear. She kept saying "scared" over and over. I like this bear, it was cute and reminded me of our dog, Ally. Ally loves chewing on bark too.
This mountain lion was pacing all over its cage. I was glad there were glass between us. The male looked really upset at the females in the cage.

The beautiful Peacock. It was trying to impress some lady birds in the cage.

Josh had a lot of fun too. He loved the train ride and wished it would have lasted longer. He really like the wolves and foxes. Also the bears. He carried around a map, being our navigator.

Jake loved the ride. He was in a hurry the whole day, running from place to place and never with us. A couple of times he took off and we were wondering where he was. He would come running back and telling us how cool the next animal was, he just couldn't wait for us to get there!!

Alyssah on the train ride. Doesn't she look thrilled?? This is our drama queen.


The boys loved feeding the goats. I bet the Zoo hardly has to feed these animals. They come running as soon as you put your money in to get the corn. Alyssah wanted nothing to do with the animals. I know she was scared of them.


We had the best day! After the museum and zoo, we went to eat at Famous Daves. It was good, the kids were good, over all the day was an A++!!
