Tucson Trip

For spring break, my mom decided we should all head over to Tucson for 4 days and visit some awesome museums.

Here is Hayley the night before. I was trying to get everything ready and wanted to make sure her new swimsuit fit so this is how she ate dinner. Her hair kept getting in her eyes so I stuck it up in a "fountain" (that is what I called it as a child) and as you can see, she was not amused.
The Sonoran Desert Museum:

Precious picture of my dad, Dallen, Hayley and Davey holding hands.
I tried on the bat ears to hear like a bat. And it was a pretty amusing picture. :)
Hayley lounging out in the stroller. She is so funny.
Both my kids sitting while we listened to a presentation about Hawks.
Hayley's fishy face.

The Pima Air and Space Museum:
The next day, we headed to the Pima Air and Space museum and this was my favorite place by far that we visited.
They had a fun kid play place and here is Hayley controlling the airplane. When she would push buttons or pull the lever, different parts of the airplane would actually move.
Dallen and Hayle riding in another plane.
Strolling along in the wagon.
Hayley posing (kind of) with an airplane.
My mom and brother, Will, posing in front of a crazy, awesome airplane.
Hayley bonking her face and looking to me for sympathy. :)
Hayley and Dallen posing in a fun cutout. Hayley was a crazy astronaut capturing Dallen's alien ship.
The Titan Missile Museum:

The same day as the airplane museum, we visited the Titan Missile Museum. This was my least favorite museum since their volunteers consisted of grumpy old men who glared at me when my kids made any noise. It was also a really boring place for the kiddos (ok, Ill admit, and for me).
This is me carrying my chubby baby and squating to give my legs a rest. We went down like 50-something stairs to look at the missile and control panel and it seriously took like 1 1/2 hours...the guy was talking and talking and chubba wubba was killing my back!
My dad and Hayley walking through the underground tunnel to get to the missile.

We had a really fun trip filled with lots of yummy food and swimming. This is the first time this year that Hayley has been swimming and she LOVED it. I wish I would've gotten pictures (especially since her adorable yellow swimsuit still fit her from last year. Cute!) but I didnt. We were just too busy having fun. :)
