Cotton Bowl: Perot Children's Museum, Denim & Diamonds

Today we got up, ate breakfast, and headed on the Children's Day Out adventure at the Perot Children's Museum.
Cotton bowl day 4
When we got there, we were greeted with a light lunch and a face painter and a balloon animal maker.  Wes got her face painted and everyone got balloon animals.  Weslie's was a crown.  Kole got a duck and Kade ended up with a sword and a gun (appropriate, I know.)

In the museum, we had a great time. We spent about 1.5 hours in there, and it wasn't nearly enough time!  In one room they had where you could race against someone/thing on a small track.  Kade chose to race a pro football player.

Kole chose a cheetah...

And Wes chose a pro soccer player.

None of the kids were even close to beating their opponent.  I think Daddy needs to do some speed work with these three!!!

We found the only bear in the whole place...and threw up a Sic'em right by it!

Then in one of the last rooms that we found, it was all building stuff and engineering.  All the kids had a great time in this room...and probably could have stayed in there all day long.

Wes constructed a suspension bridge

Kole and Wes rigged up a track for a ball...

And Kade found the robots and mechanical cars.  I literally had to pry them out of this place.  You could easily spend 4-5 hours in this museum.

That evening, we had Chad stay with the kids (until KK arrived) so that we could got to the Denim and Diamonds event.
