The Bunch Visit the Jurassic World Exhibition

This week was also a nice week. We drew from the fun jar go hiking and visit the Jurassic World Exhibition. I have wanted to go hike a greenbelt that is near us since we moved here. Finally, after almost 5 years, we have. This area has over 20 miles of hiking trails and also allows horses. It was raining the day we went so we did not see anyone else, but it would be a fun place to take your horse for a trail ride. It's too bad we can't ride our horse! We managed to get our hike in between rain showers so other than the high humidity it was nice hike. It was pretty flat so it was a fairly easy trail. We have had to scale some mountains on a few of our hikes, but this was like a nice nature walk, though being as competitive as we all are it turned into who can speed walk the fastest walk. Spoiler T and I pretty much walk the same speed. It was a fun way to get a little exercise in and we spent about an hour there hiking.

It was a nice easy hike though it was super humid.

We had a lot fun. We even saw 2 huge trout in the river!

We always look so happy BEFORE we hike.

We went to buy our new oven this week, but it wasn't on sale anymore (even though it was advertised that it was) and they were out of stock so since we don't really need it yet we are waiting until I see a good sale, probably around Labor Day. My kids find it funny that I will never pay full price for anything or rarely pay full price. I am willing to wait patiently until I find a deal I want. The kids pick up on my habits too. T had been stalking the nintendo website waiting for his NBA 2K21 to go on sale. It paid off the other day and during one of their flash sales T got the $100 game for $4.79 or 95% off! The girls also always check sales and clearance racks first before they start looking around at the rest of the store.

The Jurassic World Exhibition is in the Colony this summer and I found a coupon code where we were able to get tickets for about $20-$30 each. It was a really fun experience. It is amazing how life like they can make these robots look. We had a super fun time!

We were excited to go see this exhibit. T loved dinosaurs when he was little. This was a nod to his 4 year old self.

The storm was rolling in.

The way the dinosaurs moved and walked around was so freaking cool!

It was a good experience. Definitely worth it to us.

Lots of smiles.

The way it was set up you moved with your group to each exhibit and the hosts talked about what you were seeing. This was the "training" area for the dinosaurs.

This was the nursery.

A was looking inside one of the eggs.

The newborns. L's phone classified them as food.😂

This one moved its neck up and down. The technology was unreal for this exhibit, even the nostrils flared as they were breathing.

Luckily, it wasn't very busy when we were there.

It was a fantastic way to spend about an hour.

The Bunch Start Birthday Week

Yes, my Mom had my name misspelled on the cake.😂 It was still yummy so it was all good. T, A, and I all have our birthdays within a week and a half. Which means there is a crazy amount of sugar within those 10 days. We always like to make whoever's birthday it is feel special for the day. We watch what they want,do activities they like, eat what they pick, do their chores for them, etc. It not usually too expensive, but just a fun day where it's focused on them. The kids use to use their days to rule like little kings and queens, but have become a lot calmer in their "old" age since they get to do whatever they want most of the time anyways. We are a pretty close family and do a lot of things together all the time anyways, but on birthdays we still make sure we defer to the birthday boy/girl. My birthday is first and the kids do so many nice things for me all the time, but they put forth an extra effort on my birthday. This year A even woke up early to turn the cof...

The Bunch Visit Family

We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things. We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...

The Bunch Have A Fantastic Week!

Pickleball is always fun! Now that the weather has been nicer, albeit super windy, we have been trying to do our weekly pickleball match. Basically, this week whoever was playing with the wind won! We still have fun playing even when it is windy. In fact, playing in the wind probably makes us have more fun. The wind gusts sometimes pick the ball up and make it do some funny things, like getting the ball and pushing it back onto your side so you lose a point or blowing it three courts over! Luckily, we are usually the only ones there so it doesn't matter if we play across 4 courts. Afterwards, we usually go get some ice cream/ frozen yogurt and just enjoy our outing. T went camping this weekend with his troop. They worked on orienteering, which I was super happy about since T needs to work on that something fierce, but unfortunately the boys in troop aren't much better than him at orienteering and the first guy oriented them upside down on the first one so they basically was...
