After the Monster Jam show and after eating we made it to the pool at the Hilton.

Daddy with the boys.  Nicholas actually did not need any assistance being that he he growing up and can touch the bottom of the pool.

Daddy still had to hold unto Andrew, he can touch on his tip toes but with barely his nose out of the water.

A shot of the pool with no one in it.  Andrew had fun on the steps.

Next door to the Museum is a Train Depot Museum.

The boys inside the Children's Museum.

The boys loved putting the scarfs in the tubes and watch them come out at different places when they turn the nobs.

Andrew working and building the engine part of the car.

Nicholas watches Andrew as he tries to figure out how he is going to connect the other end.

Andrew worked it and went inside the car to get that hose connected to the engine.  Great problem solving Andrew!

See, I told you my boys were hatched; not sure it was from a dinosaur egg though?

A Ferris Wheel inside the Museum.

Andrew back at building the car; he loved doing this one.  I caught him in mid-air as he was running and tripped with wheel in hand and smashed his fingers.

It did not deter him at all from falling; right back to work as the girls wait for their tire to get fixed.

Mommy sit and watches as the boys dig for fossils.

On our way home and two kids sleeping in the back we stopped at an antique place and found these desks for the boys.

The boys now can do their homework, watch TV as they are doing with their Monster Truck & Museum loot.  $38 for both desks not bad deal.                    Down below are some videos of the Monster Truck Jam.
