Rich and I thought it would be a fun family night to go to the museum of Idaho. It was the Titanic exhibit. So, i hyped the kids up all day telling them about this huge ship that sunk in the ocean, (i left out Rose and Jack though, i didnt want him to cry as hard as i did when i first saw their story.) He and Lane were genuinely excited to see things that had been brought up from the ocean. I diligently check the hours, open till eight, we were in the clear. Rich gets home, showers does his thing. I load the kids pack camera fruit snacks, stroller etc. load kids. drive 12 minutes or so to Idaho Falls. We park in front of the building. being the process of unloading the kiddies, putting on jackets getting out stroller, convincing Lane that he doesnt need to take toys in with him. blah blah... all the while this museum worker lady is smiling politely watching us like 3 feet away from the door as we crawl our way to the doors I glance at the time, note its 7:02 awesome time. She then (all while smiling) says im sorry we are no longer selling tickets. The total exhibit takes an hour to walk through. I said are you kidding? and she (all while smiling) said no. I gently reminded her that my children cant read and have an attention span of the length of the average commercial and we will be through in 45 minutes tops. she ignores me, asks me if I am from Idaho falls and i said no. thinking this would sway her and let us in. she smiles (surprizingly) and says oh well take a brochure then. Im like, oh thanks yeah this has the hours on it. and yep it says your open till eight... yep hagseum of Idaho. so we ended up at Walmart who is ALWAYS open. and bought Bolt to try to stop the weeping wailing and gnashing of teeth that was going on from not seeing the sucken ship parts. note: lane sneaking off in the back of the picture. it took me two minutes to find him. I peed alittle i was so scared. Luckily we found him next to the plungers he was using it like a sword.

Lame! And yes Linds, you are a good comment leaver! (Is that a word?) Anyway, my son LOVES Bolt, but he calls it Both.... don't know why. He is constantly talking about Penny though. Pretty cute movie!
