Natural Science Center

We met our nine cousins at JC Penney for grandkid pictures today. Photographing 14 children age 12 and under is a challenge, but the kids did a great job and we got a few good shots. After the picture, we headed to the Natural Science Center. We used to go there at least twice a month when we lived in Greensboro. The kids were all happy to see it again.

The kids headed down the Tiger Trail. Too bad the tigers were sleeping. Last year Courtney and Gracie were in the stroller and this year, they run the entire way!
Courtney loves shopping.

The dinosaurs were very popular. Gracie really got into the stegasaurus.

Courtney loved triceratops.

Checking out a starfish.

Caroline had a great time even though she doesn't look too happy in this picture.

Alex enjoyed the puppet theater. He's showing off a pteradactyl here.

Milking the cow.

Caroline LOVED all the animals. Here she is enjoying the meerkats.

We have a picture of Courtney, Kirill and Alex here when Courtney was about 4 months old. I tried to re-create the moment, but Lina and Courtney didn't want to cooperate.
