Saturday, per Jonathan's request, we went to The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. It was during Alyson's naptime, so she slept through most of it in the stroller, which probably worked out for the best since it was a not Alyson friendly in most of the exhibit halls.
The museum was huge, and there were beautiful gardens that you walked through to get to some of the different buildings to see their exhibits.
There was an exhibit that featured all the big names in Westerns. John Wayne, Gene Autry, Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, etc. The stars there on the ground had the performers names, like a Hollywood Walk of fame.
There was a rodeo section, this is a statue of a cowboy on a bucking bronco, Ally woke up about this time, because as you walk through you hear cows mooing and sounds of horses. She liked to hear the animal noises and see what to her, where "real" animals.
There was another section of the museum that had civil war items, and there was another section that was all about guns. You weren't allowed to take pictures in some parts of the museum and the gun hall was one of them, so I don't have pictures of those, but Jonathan enjoyed them!
I don't remember the name of the statue, so we will just call it "Cowboy rides again"
We had alot of fun. We really enjoyed the grown up museum, since the last road trip featured a children's museum it balanced out nicely. Look at us! Being all cultured!
After the museum, we headed back to Peggy's house to chill. We played Wii for the first time. I know!! How have we never played Wii??? We just aren't video gamers, but we did have a lot of fun playing. Jonathan then cooked us a nice steak dinner, which had Peggy and I working really hard in the kitchen to heat up rolls and toss a salad... man, the things we do to have a nice dinner!! :) We hung out more, watched Ally play with the puppies Bear and well... PJ was there too but at a safe distance. I didn't get pictures of that- camera wasn't charged. We headed back and I even made it to church on time to teach Sharing Time in Primary.
We love road trips!!!
and Aunt Peggy too!
