Not just a walk in the park!

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends! Among the top of that group are the Walters! They have adorable twin girls, Cami and Sydney who are Nick's age! We decided last year that since all our kids receive WAY too many presents for Christmas that we would instead take them on a little trip for in lieu of gifts! Last year we went to Monkey Joe's, this year we opted for the Science Center and their exhibit, Walking with the Dinosaurs!

The boys loved it! Notice I dressed them in their matching NY Giants shirts...I always opt for NY sports team apparel whenever we go out because (1) they always have matching shirts and (2) because no one else in our area will EVER have the same shirts on. It definitely makes finding the boys MUCH less stressful, especially in a group!
This dinosaur was HUGE, notice the missing head, but I was not a fan...some of them had fur which made them, I don't know, kind of freaky...
Jack and Nick digging for some dinosaur bones...
And Luke, of course, doing the same thing, just a few steps behind his two big brothers!
All five of our fabulous kids!!!
Here's our happy family!
The kids were SO excited to make this arch!!! This picture was take 2...the first time they built it and stood underneath, it fell on them...maybe that's why Luke is looking up!
At the Science Center this is a walkway across the interstate! The kids can use radar detectors to see how fast the cars are going underneath them. One of their favorite parts though were these glass cut outs! They TOTALLY made me nervous and I refused to walk on them; however, the kids LOVED them!
After our Science Center fun we headed to the Hill...the Italian section of the city for a fabulous dinner and a great (big!) drink!
Can't wait to see where we go next year! We'll definitely have to head out again before then though!
